Statistical Data Analysis

This course addresses market research design, data collection, and data interpretation based-upon quantitative data and techniques.
Methods that are specifically developed along the course include questionnaire design and survey, experiments, and panel data. Data analysis familiarizes participants with statistical data analysis - the art of examining, summarising and drawing conclusions from data. This includes the organisation of a coherent database and its use to produce statistical summaries and inference. Statistical software is essential in this respect. The course builds on students´ knowledge of introductory level statistics, such as frequency, distribution and correlation and introduces new topics like hypothesis testing on means, percentage and regression, multiple regression, logistic regression, factor analysis and cluster analysis
