To p or not to p? What is the (research) question? Using stronger quantitative techniques in your UX research
UX Research especially user testing is relatively new and budding in the Philippines. However, recent work has only focused on mostly qualitative techniques and descriptive statistics where it is hard to draw conclusions and generalizations that most stakeholders need to confidently describe their product and features. This workshop will help early career researchers become more confident in using quantitative techniques in statistical inference. Simply, if you want to confidently say "feature A is better than feature B" to your PM, then this workshop is for you. We will show you quick tools on how to do statistics without the fear of getting the calculations wrong, along with a quick flowchart to help you choose the right treatment for your testing.
