In Fall 2023, I moved over PP content to R4Epi. Some of it needs to be rearranged, though. This content needs to come before random error and random error needs to come before we start calculating confidence intervals for anything. Given that the source of random error we focus on the most is sampling variability, perhaps it should come right after our discussion of populations. We can then immediately start calculating confidence intervals in the measures of occurrence chapter. This will also mean that we won't have learned any measures that we can use for examples in the random error chapter. So, we would just have to say something like, "don't worry about the measure for now. Just interpret the p-value and/or confidence interval." I don't think I like that. So, let's keep random error between measures of occurrence and measures of association.
