Statistics Skills

Volledige vakbeschrijving

The knowledge obtained in this course can benefit engineers from any concentration. In this skills training, theoretical statistical models are introduced and you apply this knowledge by analysis of cross- sectional or longitudinal data on the computer. In this way, you are trained to identify which statistical model is most appropriate to apply to a given empirical question. Accordingly, you are provided with four types of datasets derived from experiments related to circular engineering topics. You are introduced to the statistical software package SPSS. With this background, you need to formulate a research question that could be answered for each dataset. Subsequently, you need to determine the appropriate statistical analysis and execute the analysis using the SPSS software and report on your findings. This way, you are introduced and trained to work with different statistical models using the SPSS software.
