Comparing Treatments Using Resampling: Determining the Effectiveness of New Salt Substitute and Fertilizer

This video tutorial explains how to compare treatments using a resampling strategy. It begins with an introduction to the concept of treatment comparison, using a salt substitute as an example. The properties of the normal distribution are reviewed, highlighting the bell curve and standard deviation. The video then introduces resampling, a statistical method that uses sample data without relying on standard assumptions. An example involving fertilizer yield is provided to demonstrate the resampling process. The tutorial concludes with an analysis of the salt substitute data, showing how resampling can determine treatment effects.
