Course: BCN Statistics Course
------------------only for BCN PhD students--------------
The topics treated are: introduction to statistical concepts and principles, analysis of variance, analysis of covariance, regression analysis, multilevel analysis, repeated measures analysis, non-parametric statistics, and logistic regression.
The objectives of this course are to refresh and augment your basic statistics knowledge. We aim at providing you with an overview of the relevant aspects in using statistics in the cognitive and behavioural sciences. This includes knowledge on the theory of statistical procedures, their aims, their interpretation and their application in practice.
After the course, you are able to select an appropriate statistical method for the most frequent occurring data analytic problems in the cognitive and behavioural sciences.
Required Entrance Knowledge
The course is not an elementary course in statistics, but a kind of refresher course. Even though elementary statistical concepts are discussed briefly, without prior knowledge of statistics (at least general statistical principles and concepts, regression analysis, analysis of variance) the course will be impossible to follow.
To give an indication of the required level, we propose the "Statistical Entrance Requirements"* for the Research Masters programme of the Research Master Human Behaviour in Social Contexts. To verify your statistical knowledge, it is helpful to make the Diagnostic Self-Test Statistics*, and next to verify your answers in the document Answers Diagnostic Self-Test* and follow the recommendations given there.
