Dealing With Low Statistical Power - Threat To Statistical Conclusion Validity - Research Methods Video
In this video, I discuss Shadish, Cook, and Campbell’s (2002) idea about statistical conclusion validity. This is where you draw conclusions about the covariance of variables, but for some other reason the statistical conclusion is incorrect.
In this video, I’m talk about low statistical power. Low statistical power occurs when you have too much noise to understand the signal in a covariance between variables. It manifests itself in non-statistical significance of the variable when there really is a relationship between the variables.
Ways to increase statistical power either focus on increasing the ‘effect’ of the signal, or reducing the variability of other factors that increase noise.
1. Measure and correct for powerful covariates. Focus on covariates that are going to truly matter.
2. Use matching. This reduces the effects of all other variables.
3. Increase sample size. Try to find more subjects.
4. Improve measurement. Try to find a better measurement for your study.
5. Increase the treatment - either in the strength or the variability.
6. Find more similar subjects. Homogenous subjects reduce other factors.

David Maslach is a research professor of entrepreneurship, innovation, and business strategy, I discuss topics, such as behavioral science, strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and apply these to my new peer proofreading and editing platform. Topics include the sharing economy, altruism, investing in technology, and bounded rationality. My favorite videos pertain to incentives, goal setting, and learning from failure to drive behaviors such as weight loss, stopping telemarketers, creating novel technologies, and creating new movements.
r3ciprocity.com: Peer proofreading and editing platform
A new platform where you can earn credits by editing other people's documents. Use these credits to have your own work edited. If you do a good enough job, you can convert these credits to money.
The goal of the platform is to get people to 'pay it forward' and help other people out by creating incentives for people to give back.

About the Site 🌐
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟
Content and Users 🎵
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact 🤑
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
