Are you someone who has taken an introductory statistics course and you want to learn more? Or perhaps you want to hone your statistical abilities. Then you should consider taking PSYCH 307: Intermediate Statistics! The description is below. Note that even if you haven’t used the JASP statistical program before, you can still take the course as we will review the basics.

Description: A continuation of topics discussed in introductory statistics courses. Topics include, but are not limited to, simple effects tests for interactions, false discovery rate, linear and polynomial regression analyses, coding for multicategorical predictor variables, and mediation (simple, parallel, and serial) and moderation. In addition, we will compare and contrast Frequentist and Bayesian inference and learn how to conduct basic Bayesian analyses. The course emphasized close readings of peer reviewed publications and analyzing and reporting data using the JASP statistical package. This course is recommended for students interested in going to graduate school for psychology/other research disciplines or for those who wish to go into careers doing data analytics or research.

Prerequisites: One of the following courses: PSYCH 207, ECON 202, BIO 385, or MATH 345
