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.
