Description

Multiple linear regression is one of the most commonly used techniques in statistics and allows for the impact of multiple variables to be assessed simultaneously. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a related technique which allows the mean values of several groups to be compared. This course will equip participants with the skills necessary to undertake both types of analysis using free software, understand and interpret the output, check the assumptions that underpin each type of model, and present the results coherently.

Topics Covered

The morning will start with a brief recap on the concepts of hypothesis testing and choosing the right test. This will include the basic use of Jamovi to carry out and interpret an independent t-test before progressing to the related technique ANOVA. Assumption checking, two-way ANOVA’s and interactions will conclude the morning.
The afternoon starts with correlation and simple linear regression to assess the relationship between two continuous variables before concentrating on multiple regression which allows multiple variables to be tested simultaneously. Both sessions will concentrate on producing and understanding outputs rather than mathematical content with regular exercises to reinforce learning.

Who is this course for?

This course is aimed at individuals who have some basic statistical knowledge and who wish to undertake analyses of quantitative data and who therefore wish to gain some insight into how to undertake these.

Requirements

Basic statistical knowledge as the course is designed as a follow-on from our Basic Statistics course.

Delegates will need to download the latest version of Jamovi onto their laptop.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
