Introduction to Data Analysis 2

Description:

Outline

Introduction to Data Analysis 2 builds on the skills taught in Introduction to Data Analysis 1. Namely, data management, summary, and visualisation. In particular, the course introduces methods to analyse the relationship between variables using cross-tabulation and linear regression analysis. Like the IDA 1, it emphasises hands-on practical learning and uses real-world data and cutting-edge software.

Objectives

This course covers the following topics:

• Understanding probability and statistical significance
• Testing correlations between different types of variable
• Analysing the relationship between variables using linear regression
• When and how to control for confounding variables
• Drawing inferences from your results

Prerequisites

Participants should have a basic familiarity with a statistical software package (e.g R or PSPP). Ideally, participants should also have taken Introduction to Data Analysis 1 or have equivalent experience.
