Course description

Skills in applied quantitative data analysis are highly sought after by employers and are widely used by researchers in academia, government agencies, private companies and community organizations. This course teaches some of the most important quantitative data analysis techniques to equip students to undertake their own research and to assess the research of others. The course is ideal for those who are planning to undertake a quantitative honours thesis or work in an area that requires evaluating or conducting quantitative analyses. Topics covered include: a revision of descriptive and inferential statistics; bivariate and multiple linear regression; binary, ordered and multinominal logistic regression; and the use of statistical software for data analysis (Stata). A defining characteristic of this course is its focus on the practical application of the methods covered, rather than on their mathematical or statistical properties.
