If you want to approach this using hypothesis testing, what is the null hypothesis? No shift in preference? No systematic shift in preference? (Given the strong initial preference, I'm not sure what a "non-systematic shift" would look like.) The best statistical technique might be "point and

Don,I'm no stats guru, but I'll throw this out as a way to characterize the bird's behavior with respect to probability:It seems to me that "chance" in this situation would be defined by the bird's normal feeding behavior.

Normally I don't like "top posting" (leaving several screensful of quoted material at the bottom of one's post), but it seems expedient here. You've got repeated measures on a binary dependent variable, and what that suggests to me is that you want to use either a GEE (generalized estimating equa

Hi Tipsters- I need some advice on the best statistic to use. I'm doing some work that's outside of my normal area. I'm collaborating with a colleague in the Biology department and we're investigating learning in Raptors. In particular, red-tailed hawks. So far we have preliminary data on only one

I am not familiar with the research saying they don't do better on makeup exams.  I give make-ups for all chapter exams (on 2-3 chapters each).  In my experience, some students do no better or, rarely, they do worse, but most do improve, with some doing dramatically better, up to 20 points h
