We collected soil samples and groundwater samples in representative farms under varying:
1. Fertilization systems
2. Cropping systems
3. Farming systems
4. Soil textural classes
Could you please advise on the type of statistical methods to analyse our data?
Either you go on a hugely expensive 'fishing expedition' or set up some narrower hypotheses and test them. Think of your budget and the cost of testing!!
@paul milham we investigating the occurrence of pharmaceuticals and personal care products compounds
Yeah its very costly. Lucky enough we collaborated with our chemistry department and they have the Water LC MS/MS. We got a discount. Something that is costing us is the SPE cartridges. We using oasis HLB. I am not sure which statistical analysis method to follow
Each analysis can cost $1,200/sample. Expensive and not always responsive!
All the mentioned cases, dear researchers, have a logical solution. The stronger the researcher's knowledge in the field of statistical information, the more statistical data analysis will cost less. The type of system selection is very important in reducing the cost.
There are many analyses to be employed depending on the type and behavior of your data collected and depending on the objectives that you want to answer. Setting your objectives will define what statistical analyses will your data be run.
