M6: R Assignment

Instructions
Throughout this course we will be using RStudio as our environment for working with the R programming language.

Before you begin this assignment, make sure that you have reviewed the R videos on this module’s lecture page.

When you are ready to begin, complete the following steps for this module’s R assignment:

Open the Allison file  download. Allison is a teenager that you are seeing for depression. In order to assess her progress, you ask her to record how many times she cries each day. The data you have is a measure of that.
Test for a trend in each phase and report your findings.
Test for autocorrelation in each phase and report your findings.
With this information, which test of Type I error would you use?
Conduct this test and report your findings. Are the phases statistically different from each other? How do you know? How would this information impact your work with Allison?
Now open the Mother file  download. Mother is a client you are seeing in family therapy who is arguing with her teenage daughter. The data you have is how many arguments she has each month with her daughter? Evaluate the Mother data in the same way you evaluated the Allison data.
Requirements
Upload the following by the deadline posted on this page:

A Word document with the following information:
A report of your findings from testing for trends and autocorrelation for both Allison and Mother.
A description of what test of Type I error you would use for both Allison and Mother.
A report of the results from conducting your test on both the Allison data and Mother data.
