Learning unit contents
Students and researchers as well are often lost in front of their data. Most of the time, they simply don't know how to analyse the data or, worse, they do it in a wrong or ineficient way. The classes will give them a better understanding of statistics based on regression analysis. We will present analyses based on models comparison in the sake of a better understanding of the data.
Index: regression analysis with 1 continuous or categorical predictor, 2 continuous or categorical predictors, 2 predictors and the interaction (moderation), mediation analyses.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The aim is to enhance students' understanding of the domain as well as their ability to correctly analyse data. They should become "data analysers" more than statisticians.
