Url:

http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~lane/case_studies/magnets/index.html

Creator:

Lane, David M.

Publisher:

Rice University

Description: Created by David M. Lane of Rice University, this case study assesses the question, "Can the application of magnetic fields be an effective treatment for pain?" It addresses concepts including: boxplots, stem and leaf displays, correlated t-test, two-sample t-test, repeated measures analysis of variance, and analysis of covariance. The author structures this study in this way: background, experimental design, materials, descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, interpretation and the raw data set. Overall, this is a great resource as it presents the statistical theories and then directly applies them to this case study.
