"analysis of variance". Perhaps even more important, Fisher began his systemac approach to the analysis of real data as the springboard for the development of new stascal methods. He began to pay parcular aenon to the labour involved in the necessary computaons performed by hand, and developed methods that were as praccal as they were founded in rigour. In 1925, this work culminated in the publicaon of his ﬁrst book, Stascal Methods for Research Workers. Measure the speed and accuracy of the data entry using the methods that you chose. Alternave Entry Task Have each parcipant type in the same paragraph with the alternave method of data entry that you chose. Measure the speed and accuracy of the data entry using your chosen method of measurement. If your method of text entry has auto-correct or other forms of automaon you may choose whether to use them or not; however, ensure that you clarify this point in your report. Analysis For your analysis you will have to describe the data you have gathered using descripve stascs for each of your methods of data entry. You will then need to compare the two methods of data entry using inferenal stascs and to draw conclusions based on your analysis. You should also look at the relaons between the two dependent variables as well as the eﬀects of your explanatory variables on these dependent variables. As part of your analysis, you should describe possible reasons for why you observe any diﬀerences (or lack of diﬀerences) between the input methods. e escribe the implicaons of your ﬁndings (which should be speciﬁc to the method of text entry you chose) and how these may inﬂuence future designs of text entry methods. Final Report Your report should be wrien in the format of a research report, and should contain the following secons:  Introducon: e escribe the overall goal of the research.  Background: e escribe the types of data entry that you chose and any relevant informaon about them.  Methods: e escribe the experimental procedure and your dependent and explanatory variables, and jusfy why you chose them.  Results and eiscussion: e escribe and compare the two methods of text entry using the methods that you have learned in class. Explain what the results mean in terms of the overall research queson.  Conclusion: State the conclusions of your experiment.  Appendices: You should include detailed stascal analysis (e.g., normality check, relevant R code) in an Appendix. In addion, if you include references, you should cite them properly. You can adopt any citaon style (e.g., IEEE: hp://www.ieee.org/documents/ieeecitaonref.pdf ; American Psychological Associaon Style: hp://www.apastyle.org/). Formang requirements: Maximum 10 pages excluding the Appendix, References, and the tle page. At least 1.5 line spacing, 12 point font size.
