Design and Statistics III
About this subject
On successful completion, a student will be able to
- Demonstrate broad and coherent knowledge of the underlying principles, concepts, and skills relevant to research design and analysis using the Generalized Linear Model, including analysis, critique, and discussion of the principles and methods used to conduct psychological research
- Appropriately and clearly disseminate information about psychological research design, analysis, interpretation, and outcomes
- Demonstrate effective application of statistical knowledge and skills, using statistical software, at a foundational level of competency
- Demonstrate the capacity to apply design and statistical knowledge and skills in a manner that is adaptive to context and uncertainty
- A week-by-week guide to the topics you will explore in this subject will be provided in your study materials.
This unit builds on and unifies statistical and design topics introduced in previous units, particularly PSYU2248 Design and Statistics II. Topics include: repeated measures and mixed design ANOVA, multiple regression (linear, curvilinear, and logistic); analysis of variance and covariance; and model reduction procedures. The unit also illustrates the links between these different methods through placing them in the context of the Generalized Linear Model; in so doing the unit enhances your understanding of statistical methods and their relationship with research design. Practical classes utilise the Stata statistical package.
