This unit will be offered for the first time in 2022.
Introduction
This unit is designed to extend the knowledge of statistical data analysis. It builds on the concepts of regression and ANOVA introduced in Data Handling & Statistics 1 and introduces analyses using multiple explanatory variables, mixed-effects models and generalized linear models (GLMs, such as logistic regression. Students will become proficient in the use of a contemporary statistical package R, the interpretation of its output and reporting of statistical analyses to statisticians and to general public. Students will be able to evaluate the appropriateness of experimental designs and statistical methods and suggest changes to designs and analysis.
If studying this unit off-campus, please note there is a need to attend either the Cradle Coast, Launceston or Hobart campus for a test held in week 13 of semester.
