Description

This module is open only to MA students.

This graduate module assumes no prior knowledge of statistics or knowledge of mathematics beyond GCSE (or equivalent). It provides a basic introduction to statistics essential for multi-disciplinary study. The emphasis is on elements of statistical thinking and insight is drawn from simple data and concepts rather than complex derivations and formulae. The module presents quantitative methods as an essential intellectual method appropriate for study alongside other approaches to social sciences. The module is oriented towards making practical use of simple statistical methods and is focused particularly on interpretation of the results. The second part of the module introduces students to regression analysis and so prepares them for more advanced modules in quantitative methods and econometrics (SEESGS46). By the end of the module all students will be able to conduct and interpret simple empirical statistical analysis with the use of real world data. The module uses the STATA software package.
