Volledige vakbeschrijving
This course consists of two parts. During the first part of the course, the foundations of inferential statistics will be covered. A great deal of emphasis will be placed on the logic behind the statistical reasoning process. During the second part of the course, students will be familiarized with several statistical techniques often used in the field: t-tests, ANOVA and X2 tests. In the parallel SPSS practical, students will be given the opportunity to apply these techniques to several real datasets. The subjects covered in the second part of this course will consistently be linked to the basic terms that were explained in the first part of the course.Doelstellingen van dit vak
