Introductory Statistics for Researchers

UNSW Stats Central is offering this short course.

This course is designed as an introduction to statistical analysis for researchers. There is emphasis on understanding the concepts of statistical procedures (with a minimum of mathematics, although some will be discussed) and on interpreting computer output. This course is designed to help you, the researcher. It is helpful if you have done an undergraduate statistics subject, although this course can serve as a first introduction or a refresher. The theory behind the statistical procedures outlined in the course will, in general, not be discussed. 

Statistical analyses require specialised software to perform calculations. In this course, we use the free statistical program R exclusively, although researchers may have another statistical package available to them. It is essential to have basic proficiency in using the R statistical package to do this course successfully. Please read Important Notes at the course booking link below.

 Course Requirement

 You will need to use a computer during the course. You will also need administrator rights to install software needed for the course onto your computer. Basic proficiency in using the R statistical package is essential.
