IBM SPSS - Intermediate: Categorical Data Analysis

Course description

This course builds on the skills taught in the introductory courses and aims to introduce a few statistical tests that support the analysis of nominal and categorical data. Although this course is aimed to be practically orientated with extensive use of the IBM SPSS statistical package, theoretical considerations related to the selection of an appropriate statistical test as well as assumptions involved are addressed.
