Terms of Use

What the Site Is

Stats for Psychology is an educational resource that explains statistical methods used in psychology research. Its examples use simulated data, and its calculators give estimates based on the formulas and approximations described on each page and on the About page.

Not Professional Advice

Nothing on the site is statistical consulting, research supervision, or medical, clinical or legal advice. The site can't see your data, your design or your circumstances. You're responsible for the analyses you run and the decisions you make. For work that carries real weight, such as a thesis, a submitted paper or a clinical decision, check your choices with an advisor, a statistician or another qualified professional.

Accuracy

We work hard to keep the site accurate, and the Methodology section describes exactly how content is checked. Even so, we can't promise that every page is complete, current or free of errors. If you find a mistake, please tell us at support@statsforpsychology.com.

Using the Content

The site's text, examples, charts and code are owned by Stats for Psychology or used with permission, and are protected by copyright. You may:

• Read, print and save pages for your own study, teaching or research.
• Link to any page, and assign pages as reading in a course.
• Quote short passages with a citation (see How to Cite).
• Copy and adapt the code samples for your own analyses.

Please don't republish whole pages or substantial parts of them, sell the content, or present it as your own, without written permission. Quotations from published sources belong to their authors and publishers.

Acceptable Use

The site is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement, to the fullest extent the law allows.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren't liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for any loss arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content. Some jurisdictions don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.
