This course is intended for applied data analysts, including academics
and postgraduate students, policy specialists and others. It will
examine questions dealt with in public policy, the social sciences and
industry, using real data. This includes surveys, and economics and
public health data. The unit will help build participants’ ability to
undertake rigorous statistical analysis, including means, confidence
intervals and linear regression in R, and create
publication-standard graphs of the results. The end result will be more
professional and easy to understand research. It provides the
foundational skills needed for the ACSPRI two-day masterclass Spatial Analysis in R: Online, and the week-long course Advanced Statistical Analysis using R.
