This course is an examination of common parametric and non-parametric statistical techniques used in psychology education and other social sciences research, and principles of accurate application and interpretation of those techniques (e.g., effect size; power; sample size; implications of violations of test assumptions). Topics focus on multiple regression, different models of analysis of variance and covariance, and also include categorical data analysis, meta- analysis, and an introduction to interpretation of multivariate statistics. An emphasis is placed on applied data analysis and accurate conceptualization, rather than statistical theory.
