Which is more robust against outliers: mean or median? This app demonstrates the (in)stability of these descriptive statistics as the value of an outlier and the number of data points change.
The app allows you to see the trade-offs on various types of outlier/anomaly detection algorithms. Outliers are marked with a star and cluster centers with an X.
Use presets or change parameter values manually to explore the cost-effectiveness of different research approaches to unearth true scientific discoveries. For detailed explanation and conceptual background, see LeBel, Campbell, & Loving (in press, JPSP), Table 3. This app is an extension of Zehetleitner and Felix Schönbrodt's (2016) positive predictive value app.
This app allows you to derive an approximation to the difference in Bayesian information criterion and to the probability of the null and the alternative hypothesis from the sum of squares obtained in an ANOVA analysis.
