Statistical Methods

Catalog description

Covers the foundations of statistics in cognitive science with an emphasis on modeling. Focuses on both conceptual and applied--that is, learning goals are designed to support: (1) understanding of the basic principles that underlie many of the most widely applied statistical models in cognitive science, (2) developing the technical skills necessary for implementing these models, and (3) communicating the results of statistical analyses to a general audience. Uses the R programming language to wrangle, visualize, summarize and test hypotheses with data with the ultimate goal of applying these skills in their own research.
