    Available courses

    Introduction to Item Response Theory 081420

    Self enrollment

    Aim of Course:

    This course will teach a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods for describing, measuring and analyzing social networks.

    Matrix Algebra Review 081420

    Self enrollment

    Aim of Course:

    This course will provide the basics of vector and matrix algebra and operations necessary to understand multivariate statistical methods, including the notions of the matrix inverse, generalized inverse and eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

    Many-Facet Rasch Measurement 080720

    Self enrollment

    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.

    PA 2 - Neural Nets and Regression: R 080720

    Self enrollment

    Aim of Course:

    This course continues the work of Predictive Analytics 1, and introduces you to additional techniques in predictive analytics, also called predictive modeling, the most prevalent form of data mining.

    Survey Design 080720

    Self enrollment

    Aim of Course:

    This course covers the crafting of survey questions, the design of surveys, and different sampling procedures that are used in practice. Longstanding basic principles of survey design are covered, and the impact of the trend toward increased respondent resistance is discussed.

    Statistics 2: Inference and Association 080720

    Self enrollment

    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.

    Biostatistics 1 073120

    Aim of Course:

    This course covers sensitivity-specificity and predictive values of medical tests, confidence intervals, medical vs. statistical significance, and chi-square, Student's t and ANOVA F-tests, including multiple comparisons.

    Statistics 1: Probability and Study Design 073120

    Aim of Course:

    To provide an easy introduction to statistical inference for a single variable.

    Statistics 3: Anova and Regression 072420

    Aim of Course:

    To provide an easy introduction to ANOVA and multiple linear regression through a series of practical applications.

    Logistic Regression 071720

    Aim of Course:

    Logistic regression extends ordinary least squares (OLS) methods to model data with binary (yes/no, success/failure) outcomes. Rather than directly estimating the value of the outcome, logistic regression allows you to estimate the probability of a success or failure.
