This course provides an introduction to the theory and methods of quantitative data analysis of relationships between variables, focussing on the techniques of Chi-square tests, correlation and linear regression.
The course will examine relationships between variables covering:
the concept of statistical significance
the theory and execution of a simple chi square test for relationships between categorical variables
how to test whether a relationship between two interval variables exists using correlation
how to describe relationships between variables using a statistical model based on linear regression methods
the use of control variables to control for confounding variables
the interpretation of statistical results and their use in making research conclusions.
Participants should have a basic familiarity with a statistical software package such as SPSS. Ideally participants should also have taken Introduction to Data Analysis 1 or have equivalent experience.
Price: £195 (£140 for those from educational, government and charitable institutions)
