Creating New Variables: Discover Statistics with JASP for Beginners (5 of 6)

Using data in JASP, we create entirely new variables using JASP code, formulas, and R code that can be created in JASP, or edited in R Studio for use in JASP. We create a total score and a mean in a variety of ways, showing all of your computational options in JASP. This is the fifth in a series introducing statistics students to exploring statistics with JASP.
