by Sylvia Barnes 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

Statistics Kate Howie - Computing Science & Mathematics All sessions take place in Cottrell, Lecture Theatre LTA5, 4pm - 5pm, and Computer Lab C1A13, 5pm - 6pm The 10 weekly sessions are aimed at all postgraduate students, although mainly covering quantitative research methods. The sessions build from basic exploratory analysis to fairly complex multivariate methods. Students should be able to appropriately present, analyse and interpret data from different types of study by the end of the series of lectures and practicals. Each session provides a discussion of aspects of both the theory and practice of statistical techniques followed by a practical session allowing students to apply the techniques to some data. Data sets are provided but students should feel free to use data sets from their own studies. Students can use either Minitab or SPSS for the practical sessions. Students usually attend all sessions but may wish to attend only those necessary to extend their previous experience. THERE ARE PLACES AVAILABLE ON ALL SESSIONS - EMAIL ME IF YOU WISH TO BOOK Sylvia Barnes Research Office Secretary Room 3B1 x 7041

Those on the reserve list will be allocated a place at the start time of a course if a booked place has not been taken up. It is therefore important to arrive before the start of the session to avoid the risk of losing your place. Staff should book a place on an "open course" by emailing Computer Training (ctst1(a)stir.ac.uk) with your request. (Students sign up individually on sheets in the Library) Prior to booking a place on any of the sessions please discuss your attendance with your head of department or supervisor, as appropriate. Thank you Moira Aitken Computer Liaison & Training (COLT) Information Services ctst1(a)stir.ac.uk
