Course Information

Description

The primary goal of this course is to offer intense, foundational exposure to psychological statistics, focusing heavily on applications and computation using the R environment for statistical computing. The methodological core of the first part of the course is the linear model which includes methods such as regression, t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and others. The second part of the course focuses on extensions in terms of linear mixed-effects models (aka multilevel models) and generalized linear mixed-effects models for modeling longitudinal and hierarchical data structures. Students will be exposed to the Frequentist as well as the Bayesian inferential framework.
