Course description

Univariate Statistics and Methodology in R (USMR) is a semester long crash-course aimed at providing Masters students in psychology with a competence in standard univariate methodology and analysis using R. Design and analysis are taught under a unifying framework which shows a) how research problems and design should inform which statistical method to use and b) that many statistical methods are special cases of a more general model. This course will introduce you to statistical modelling and empower you with tools to analyse richer data and answer a broader set of research questions of interest to you.
