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.
