Statistics in Psychology II

Catalog description

This course is designed to advance your statistical knowledge base and teach you how to apply this knowledge to your own data. Most psychological research examines relationships among multiple variables at the same time. You want to understand how variables are related to one another and how they work together to explain or predict an outcome. There are many multivariate statistical approaches but this course will focus on multivariate regression analysis, factor analysis, principal components analysis, path analysis, and structural equation modeling. We will begin with a review of some univariate techniques but then forge ahead to multivariate statistics. Three hour lecture; one hour laboratory. Prerequisite: Psychology 606 Must be a student in the Doctoral Psychology program
