The turrón experiment is a short project that Eva and I set ourselves to do in our free time, with the only purpose of learning how to properly conduct a scientific experiment, including things like:

  • experimental design
    • specifying our question
    • putting it in the form of null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis
    • defining the relevant variables
    • controlling for confounding factors
    • choosing in advance the best statistical test and doing a power analysis
  • data collection
  • data analysis
    • processing with tools like pandas
    • plotting with matplotlib and seaborn
    • statistical tests with statsmodels and sklearn
  • reporting
