Kuvaus

The course offers the doctoral student a comprehensive picture of quantitative research methods and it is organized in order to support the quantitative analysis of the student’s research. The course investigates formulating the research questions into statistical questions, the justifications for choosing the most relevant analysis methods, the limitations set by the data for the applicability of particular research methods as well as matters related to conducting analyses and interpreting and reporting them. Exercises are provided to practice the skills.
