IDO 508 Experimental Statistics and Design II
This course is a continuation of the IDO502 class. The goals of this course are for students to: (1) understand and apply concepts in experimental statistics and design; (2) learn to use specific statistical tools (i.e., factorial ANOVA, multiple regression, non-parametric tests, logistic regression, general linear model, MANOVA) that are appropriate in a variety of research contexts (e.g., treatment evaluation, human and animal bio-behavioral and psychological experiments, large data set analysis); and (3) learn to analyze data and interpret data analysis output using the computer program SPSS. By the end of the course attendees will be able to: 1) Learn the theory of selected statistical tests and when to apply the tests; 2) Learn how to compute statistics using SPSS; 3) Understand the concepts of mediation, moderation, and confounding.
