Description

Postgraduate course in statistics and research methods.

PSYC460 is a second-level course in statistics and data analysis, with applications for Psychology.  It is assumed that you have taken an introductory course such as PSYC206, although we will revise the basics of null hypothesis testing, correlation/regression, and ANOVA. We will spend several classes on multiple regression, which provides a foundation for methods for analysis of both experimental and correlational data which we subsequently consider, including repeated-measures ANOVA, GLM, ANCOVA, logistic regression and survival analysis, psychometrics, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis.
