Replication of Results

Abstract

We have covered statistical theory, probability, sampling distributions, statistical distributions, hypothesis testing, and various statistical tests based on the level of measurement and type of research design. Research for many decades involved carrying out a single study, i.e., collection of a single random sample of data from the population. Researchers today are becoming more concerned with replicating their research results. However, time and resources often do not permit conducting a research study again. Researchers instead have created techniques that provide some level of replicating their findings.
