Analysis plan

Specifics about data and what to do with the data.

  • How will the data be readied for this study? (Technical term: reduced, or processed).
  • Ancillary data
    • Where will we get our data?
    • How will we supplement our data?
    • How will we combine data?
  • What tools will we use?
    • To work with the data
    • To produce the diagnostic plots.

Educational/Outreach plan

  • The education angle for the general public.
  • Implication for public education?
  • Press release?
  • Image release?
