- The aim of the course is to approach basics of statistical analyzing data acquired from a quantitative survey. Students will be introduced especially to work with statistical sets and variables: creating a set, data navigation and data cleaning, set operations, data translation, creating new variables, case selection and to basic data analysis methods, i.e. to: (1) decomposition of categorical and continuous data and characteristics of this decomposition - univariational analysis; (2) comparison of data allocation and average values of these allocations: t-test, variants analysis; (3) basics of inferential statistics and testing of statistical hypothesis; (4) finding relations between variables and evaluating strength of these relations – bivariational analysis using contingency tables, correlative analysis; (5) finding linear relations between continuous variables: linear regression and scatterplot; (6) data reduction using factor analysis as an attempt to identify factors explaining higher correlation between particular variables (basics of multivariational analysis). After finishing the course, students are able to: demonstrate the basics methods of analyzing data acquired from a quantitative survey.
