ABSTRACT
By this point in your quantitative statistics career, you’ve been introduced to a large number of inferential statistics procedures, and you are likely quite comfortable with concepts such as hypothesis testing, significance, power, and similar, as well as procedures to test mean differences and relationships. Nonetheless, it does not hurt to have a brief review of some common univariate and bivariate statistics, as the concepts behind them and the statistics themselves are the foundation for multivariate statistics. We’ll begin with a refresher on a number of basic fundamental concepts, and then touch on a few foundational univariate and bivariate statistics. The goal is that, by the end of this chapter, you will be refreshed on a number of basic concepts that are important as we move into multivariate statistics.
