Topics will include descriptive statistics (measurement scales, convergence, and dispersion) and inferential statistics (one-sample, two-sample, multiple condition analyses). Also included among the topics are simple and multiple regression analysis, time and cross-sectional forecasting, and decision theory. Students will be expected to design and conduct a study, and then analyze, interpret, and report on information obtained from it. The course is intended to prepare students for graduate-level study of quantitative methods.
