Choose a research topic that involves designing an experiment comparing different groups to evaluate a variable.

What research topic would you select?

What variable do you want to investigate?

How do you plan to investigate it?

What groups do you need to form to evaluate it?

Then, choose one of the statistical methods discussed in weeks 1, 2, and 3 of the course to compare the groups.

Which method do you consider appropriate for evaluating your variable of interest, and why?

Important: Since this discussion topic requires creativity, you should choose a topic that has not been previously selected by another classmate. This platform allows you to view your classmates' responses before writing your own, so it is necessary to first review existing publications to ensure you are not repeating a topic already used.

Example:

I would like to study the effectiveness of different types of interventions in patients with depression. To do this, I will form three groups: one will receive cognitive-behavioral therapy, another will participate in sports activities, and the third will not receive any treatment. Since three groups will be compared, I will use ANOVA to analyze the data.
