research methodology and statistics

hello everyone, my name is alexander dmitriev and i am an ayurveda doctor holding bams and md (ayu) as well as a research fellow in sppu, pune and a who and un collaborator. recently who regional office in turkmenistan asked me to prepare a course for faculties at turkmen medical state university and it really inspired (but also pushed) me to learn and understand research and statistics better from the ground up. in this group i will mainly post what i am learning myself -- explained and "dumbed down" information on research and statistics. due to the nature of my occupation it will be largely related to medicine but as we all know scientific method is universal to every discipline.

forgive me my rambling and you are kindly welcome to read, learn and share more knowledge, all contributors are heavily encouraged to participate as well. regards
