DESCRIPTION:The course aims to cover bivariate statistical tests for a va
 riety of situation. The basic material of t-test is enriched by adding m
 ethods for the comparison of the distribution (or a mean) in cases where
  the variable is not normally distributed. The word ‘parametric’ is cove
 red so that nonparametric approaches generally can be taken up confident
 ly.\n\nThe course is at an intermediate level\, in the following sense: 
 we hope all participants will read about (or review) the Chi Squared tes
 t in preparation. We then move to the small-samples variant of this test
 \, and other tests for varying situations. Time permitting\, we also cov
 er the Kolmogorov-Smirnov 2-sample test\, the Kruskal-Wallis test\, the 
 median test and Spearman’s coefficients\, and one other test statistic.\
 n\nThe participants learn to critically assess the validity of claims to
  statistical inference (from sample to population) in small-N and medium
 -N situations. Helpful examples are provided in the form of primary surv
 ey data from the Young Lives Programme data on care-givers of children b
 orn in the year 2000 in four countries\, and from a large employment dat
 aset.
