This is a 3 hour advanced statistics course. The course reviews statistical concepts and procedures used in research in the behavioral sciences and introduces advanced statistical concepts and procedures. The course is placed towards the end of the sequence of required courses with the intent that students have gathered their thesis data by the time they register for this course. The course, then, will enable the student to learn about various statistical procedures and help the student to determine the most appropriate use of statistical analyses for various types of data, including his/her thesis data. The course is computer intensive in that the student is required to apply the knowledge learned during class time through the analysis and interpretation of data using one of the primary statistical packages for behavioral sciences (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences [SPSS]).
