This workshop will get you using STATA statistical software so you understand what the software is and the basics of the coding language used by STATA.
In this introduction, you will look at data, clean data and run simple tests and graphs.
No prior knowledge of computer coding needed to attend this session.
This session is for those who have never used SPSS before or want a refresher.
You will learn how to get data in, how to clean your data quickly, and how to create graphs in SPSS.
After introducing the RStudio interface, this workshop will introduce you to an RStudio workflow that includes importing, managing and plotting data.
This session is suitable for people who have not done any computer coding before.
This session is for people who will analyse quantitative data for a research project, dissertation, or thesis.
You will learn how to create a data analysis plan, which is a helpful tool (similar to a recipe) for managing and analysing your data.
In this workshop, you will learn the key factors to consider when selecting the perfect test appropriate for your data. We will explore real-world data scenarios and master the "Which Statistical Test" tool.
Whether you're a researcher or a student, this workshop is suitable for anyone wanting to analyse data with clarity and ease.
This session is for people who have collected and will analyse quantitative questionnaire data using statistical software (e.g. SPSS, RStudio, STATA, Excel).
We will cover the types of data produced by different question types, how to summarise and visualise responses and how to analyse data.
Using an example dataset, you will be able to practice managing and analysing questionnaire data in your chosen statistical software.
This session explains various ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) tests that look for significant differences between groups or measures.
In this workshop, you will practice running these tests in your chosen statistical software (e.g. SPSS, RStudio, STATA).
This session will explain the theory of this type of statistical test, which study designs can be appropriately analysed by ANOVA tests, and how to run the tests in your preferred statistical software. Tests covered:
This session explains various regression tests which aim to predict an outcome variable using one or more different predictor variables.
In this workshop, you will be able to practice running these tests in your chosen statistical software (e.g., SPSS, RStudio, STATA).
This session will explain the theory of this type of statistical test, which study designs are appropriately analysed by regression tests, and how to run the tests in your preferred statistical software. Tests covered:
