Chapter 1 - How Statistics Support Science
from Part I - Why We Use Statistics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 January 2019
Summary
This chapter discusses how statistics support scientific practice by providing evidence for new ideas despite natural variation we see between people, systems and contexts. In particular, the frameworks of severe testing and new experimentalism are used to show how experiments can add to knowledge in HCI, even in the absence of strong theories of interaction.
