The aim of the course:
This course is designed to teach basic data analysis methods and to demonstrate applying data analysis techniques through R, EXCEL, MATLAB, SPSS and MINITAB. The course will demonstrate how to decide on appropriate methods for summarizing and analyzing empirical data and presenting statistical results. The course will also highlight basic features of R, EXCEL, MATLAB, SPSS, and MINITAB such as data manipulation (loading and creating data files, how to clean, manage, manipulate and expand on existing data files) , performing statistical analyses and working on the output (interfacing between other software) . The course is split into theoretical and practical units.
