Topic

The course goal is to help to students to prepare their student research or thesis job. The first step is to select the topic. The best way to this is overview the relevant scientific literature of the given field of interest. It should be found typically a few dozen of fresh scientific paper and process them. The best statistical method is for this processing is the meta-analysis. There will be double results of that:
- It can be seen which examined questions were answered on a statistically proved way and which ones are still open. The later ones are good candidates for selecting as a topic for your research – not only as a thesis but as a potential PhD topic as well.
- On the other side it can be discovered some pitfalls which were causing the failed results of some jobs. To correct them is another potential job for a thesis work.
We can do the 1st part of this work in this course:
- Search and find the relevant literature.
- Collect and analyze the relevant published results (meta-analysis).
- Select a given topic and sketch the study plan for that.
Further parts of the job are supported by the 2nd and 3rd parts of the course.
