About Statistical Research Methods
This new statistics programme will provide comprehensive, cross-disciplinary support for researchers who require a foundation or refresher in statistical methods. The course addresses topics such as data visualisation, statistical inference, reproducibility of results, and linear regression. A concise pre-programme diagnostic tool will provide the user with tailored, signposted material dependent on their learning level, with the opportunity to strengthen core skills and extend understanding.
This programme will adopt a modular format and offer flexibility alongside application through practical activities, video demonstrations, and downloadable portfolio pods to allow learners to consolidate and refresh their statistical understanding. It aims to improve researcher confidence and motivation in contemporary statistical methods, contributing to effective research projects.
Key Benefits:
- Will provide key support for researchers to evaluate and interpret statistics, and report on sound research findings
