Aim of Course:
This course will teach you how to estimate descriptive quantities and sampling variances from complex surveys, and also how to fit linear and logistic regression models to complex sample survey data.

Available courses
Aim of Course:
This course deals with regression models for count data; i.e. models with a response or dependent variable data in the form of a count or rate. The course will cover Poisson regression, the foundation for modeling counts, as well as extensions and modifications to the basic model.
- Teacher: James Hardin
Aim of Course:
This course will teach users how to implement spatial statistical analysis procedures using R software. Topics covered include point pattern analysis, identifying clusters, measures of spatial association, geographically weighted regression and surface processing.
- Teacher: David Unwin
Aim of Course:
This course covers the application of Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques (MCMC) to Bayesian statistical modeling using WinBUGS software.

Aim of Course
Meta analysis, the ‘analysis of analyses’, is the term used to describe
the quantitative synthesis of scientific evidence. The aim of this
course is to introduce students to the fundamentals of meta-analysis and
provide an in-depth review of tools for conducting meta-analyses in the
R language. The course will cover the fundamentals of the fixed and
random effects models for meta-analysis, the assessment of
heterogeneity, and evaluating bias.
- Teacher: Stephanie Kovalchik
Aim of Course:
Rasch analysis constructs linear measures from scored observations, such as responses to multiple-choice questions, Likert scales and quality-of-life assessments. This course covers the practical aspects of data setup, analysis, output interpretation, fit analysis, differential item functioning, dimensionality and reporting.
- Teacher: Everett Smith
Aim of Course:
This course, the second in a three-course sequence, provides an easy introduction to inference and association through a series of practical applications, based on the resampling/simulation approach.
- Teacher: Peter Bruce
Aim of Course:
This course will cover the analysis of contingency table data (tabular data in which the cell entries represent counts of subjects or items falling into certain categories).
- Teacher: Brian Marx
Aim of Course:
Regression, perhaps the most widely used statistical technique, estimates relationships between independent (predictor or explanatory) variables and a dependent (response or outcome) variable.
- Teacher: Iain Pardoe
Aim of Course:
To provide an easy introduction to statistical inference for a single variable.
