Learning outcomes
This course provides students with opportunities to (i) learn advanced statistical methods and (ii) apply them to their own research projects. Topics include (linear/logistic) regression, structural equation modelling, mixed-effects modelling, along with data transformation (subject to change). Students are afforded an opportunity to work with R (a famous computational language for statistics and visualisations) under the environment of Rstudio (an integrated development environment) in their projects and data analysis assignments. In addition, students are expected to design their own research project in the form of a research proposal, with emphasis on statistical modelling.
