Statistics

This course will help build participants’ ability to work with data in R and undertake rigorous statistical analysis, including spatial analysis and linear regression, and create publication-standard graphs of the results. The end result will be more professional and easy to understand research.

This masterclass offers a step-by-step, interactive introduction to R and RStudio for participants with no experience with these software packages.

A hands-on introduction to applied choice modelling using the open-source Apollo software for the estimation of choice models. 

This course is designed as an advanced course in Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) for existing AMOS users.

This course covers enough of the statistical material for the intelligent use of multivariate statistical techniques. The approach is informal and applied rather than emphasising algebraic manipulation or proofs.

This course provides an overview of Longitudinal Data Analysis. As well as the statistical theory, an overview of the many applications and capabilities of LDA is given.

The focus of this course is on learning advanced statistical methods using R.

Designed as an applied introduction to SEM using Stata, this course aims to provide participants with a sound understanding of when to use SEM and how to assess and report their models.

The aim of this course is to provide students with an accessible introduction to the fundamentals of quantitative political science research.

This course is designed as an advanced course in Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) for existing AMOS and/or Mplus users.

The focus of this course is on learning advanced statistical methods using R.

This course is designed as an introduction to mixed effects modelling. These models involve data arising from longitudinal studies or studies where the data exhibits some form of hierarchy, and sometimes referred to as multilevel modelling.

This masterclass introduces students to choice models, discusses and contrasts the family of available model structures, and also talks about the data requirements, model estimation, and the use of models to produce outputs for policy. 

This masterclass introduces students to choice models, discusses and contrasts the family of available model structures, and covers both estimation on data and the use of models to produce outputs for policy. 

Time-series analysis is gaining popularity across many disciplines for its ability to detect trends. This course takes a practical applied approach (rather than mathematical) and participants are provided with detailed, hands-on experience in running basic time-series analysis using Stata.

This course is designed as an advanced course in Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) for existing Mplus users or for existing AMOS and LISREL users who wish to convert to Mplus.

This course is designed to cover the fundamental principles of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and introduce the AMOS and/or Mplus software packages to estimate structural equation models.

This masterclass is an introduction to linear and non-linear predictive models. It will provide an interactive step-by-step guide to running these models and key diagnostics using the R software platform.

A step-by-step, interactive introduction to Python for participants with no experience with this software package. 

A course for participants who have experience in qualitative or quantitative research and who are interested in applying QCA in their current or future studies.

An introductory unit in statistical methods with the emphasis on statistical techniques applicable to the social sciences, although these introductory techniques are also relevant to the health sciences.

This course is designed as an advanced course in Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) for existing AMOS and/or Mplus users. 

Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) is an extension of analysis of variance (ANOVA) to deal with two or more continuous outcomes or dependent variables. This technique is used to determine whether multiple levels of independent variables on their own or in combination with one another have an effect on the outcome variables.

An introduction to supervised machine learning techniques for data science, providing an interactive step-by-step guide to running some of the standard statistical regression and classification machine learning models that every data scientist should know. 

This is an introductory unit in statistical methods with the emphasis on statistical techniques applicable to the social sciences, although these introductory techniques are also relevant to the health sciences.

This course is designed as an applied introduction to the use of the Mplus software for estimating basic structural equation models.

Survival analysis is used to find out the time it takes for an event of interest to occur (e.g., death, birth, recidivism). This course is designed as an introduction to survival analysis.

This course aims to provide you with the understanding and experience to undertake a basic research project in the social or health sciences using Stata as the statistical tool.

This course is designed as an applied introduction to the use of the AMOS software for estimating basic structural equation models.

This intermediate course will help you choose from a range of statistical procedures to analyse your data. It aims to provide participants with an ability to understand, run and interpret these procedures.
