PY 2100 - Introduction to Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences

(3)
Basic concepts of statistical analysis are applied to empirical questions from psychology, social sciences and life science to foster the scientific perspective, to incite critical thinking, and to produce better consumers of information. This course focuses on basic descriptive concepts (e.g., central tendency, variability) and techniques (e.g., correlation, regression), basic issues in hypothesis testing (e.g., probability, decision errors), and basic parametric techniques (e.g., z-test, t-test, one- and two-factor ANOVAs).
