In this episode, you’ll learn the most commonly tested advanced research methods on the EPPP—including MANOVA, ANCOVA, factor analysis, structural equation modeling (SEM), hierarchical linear modeling (HLM), mediation, moderation, non-parametric tests, and effect sizes—using clear definitions, memorable psychology examples, and practical EPPP tips. By the end of this lesson, you’ll know when to use each statistical technique, recognize them instantly on the exam, and finish with practice questions to reinforce your understanding. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/eppp-study-podcast-7349262/episodes/eppp-study-guide-podcast-advanced-statistics-made-simple-manova-ancova-factor-analysis-sem-hlm-mediation-moderation-effect-sizes/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/eppp-study-podcast-7349262/eppp-study-guide-podcast-advanced-statistics-made-simple-manova-ancova-factor-analysis-sem-hlm-mediation-moderation-effect-sizes.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
