What are some alternative statistical methods I can use for my research?

There are several alternative statistical methods you can consider, such as bootstrapping, Bayesian analysis, and non-parametric tests. What specific area of research are you focusing on?

I'm working on a study related to social sciences.

For social sciences, you might find methods like ordinal regression, structural equation modeling, or mixed methods analysis useful. Do you need help with any specific method?

Yes, can you explain bootstrapping?

Bootstrapping is a resampling technique that allows you to estimate the distribution of a statistic by repeatedly sampling with replacement from your data. It's particularly useful when the sample size is small or when the underlying distribution is unknown.

That sounds interesting! How do I implement it in R?

In R, you can use the 'boot' package. First, install it using install.packages('boot'), then define a function for your statistic and use the boot() function to perform the resampling. Would you like a code example?
