We use the free JASP statistics software to do a t-test, then use filters and missing values to make the data make sense - and to make the independent samples t-test work (because it can only handle two values and our variable had eight!). Then we wrap with crosstabs (contingency tables) and a chi-square to illustrate what’s really happening better than the t-test can.
Recoding Workaround for JASP

It can be hard to recode (change the values of a variable) in JASP using their built in tools, and harder in R code. It can be easy to work around it all! In this short video, we do some quick recoding (changing values – in this case so we can do a t-test) after we very quickly copy a variable (compute a column). Kudos to JASP’s writers for making this easy. #jasp #opensource #statistics #software
