RES 2700 - Statistics

This course focuses on the use of statistical data analysis to understand samples using descriptive and inferential statistics, population estimates, and tests of empirical hypotheses. Using example data sets and hypothetical research problems, students will learn the selection and application of the appropriate statistical methods, considering the nature of samples, levels of measurement, relationship between study variables, and statistical assumptions. Statistical methods taught in this course will include tests of association, bivariate correlation relationships, linear regression, two-group (independent and matched pair) and multiple independent group univariate comparisons, as well as tests of significance and effect size. Students will also learn about reliability and validity of measurement. The emphasis will be on computation and interpretation of results, but students will also be expected to demonstrate familiarity with report writing in American Psychological Association (APA) format and quantitative research writing.
