Join us to hear more about:
How to avoid fundamental problems with statistical analysis involving sampling and inference in labor and employment litigation. The presentation will pay special attention to the statistical issues, including some that have been raised in the Duran matter as well as other cases. It will focus on the judges’ findings in recent wage and hour matters. Issues to be discussed will be:

• Failing to ensure that a sample is drawn from the correct population
• Improperly coding the sample results which invalidates a statistical analysis
• Incorrectly drawing inferences about observations outside the population from which the sample is derived
• Biased assumptions about the distribution of violations
