Overview

This course provides an easy introduction to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple linear regression through a series of practical applications. It includes content from our Introduction to Statistics 1 and 2 courses, similar to what you might find in a year-long or four-credit college course. This course provides a transition to more advanced or specialized courses and also a broadened perspective for anyone teaching basic statistics, especially AP Statistics.

Learning Outcomes

Once you’ve completed this course you’ll be able to correctly analyze studies with a single dependent variable and multiple independent variables. This course provides a transition to more advanced or specialized courses and also a broadened perspective for anyone teaching basic statistics.

  • Conduct one-way and two-way ANOVAs
  • Deal with interactions
  • Explain the concept of departure from expectation
  • Conduct a chi-square test
  • Conduct a paired-comparison test
  • Determine confidence intervals for differences in proportions and means

Who Should Take This Course

Anyone who needs an introduction to ANOVA or regression, especially those interested in taking regression or more advanced courses at Satistics.com.

Prerequisites

Introductory Statistics

We assume you are versed in statistics or have the equivalent understanding of topics covered in our Statistics 1 and Statistics 2 courses. but do not require them as eligibility to enroll in this course. Please review the course description for each of our introductory statistics courses, estimate which best matches your level of understanding of the material covered in these courses, then take the short assessment test for that course. If you can not answer more than half of the questions correctly, we suggest you take our Statistics 1 and Statistics 2 courses prior to taking this course.

Recommended

We recommended, but do not require as eligibility to enroll in this course, an understanding of the material covered in these following courses.

Statistics 1 – Probability and Study Design

This course, the first of a three-course sequence, provides an introduction to statistics for those with little or no prior exposure to basic probability and statistics.
Topic: Statistics, Introductory Statistics | Skill: Introductory | Credit Options: ACE, CAP, CEU
Class Start Dates: Jan 31, 2020

Statistics 2 – Inference and Association

This course, the second of a three-course sequence, will teach you the use of inference and association through a series of practical applications, based on the resampling/simulation approach, and how to test hypotheses, compute confidence intervals regarding proportions or means, computer correlations, and use of simple linear regressions.

What Our Students Say​

Excellent team. Once again, I'm impressed with the level of interaction that is made almost daily from the instructors and support team. Thank you for all your help.

Dr. Paula Pelletier-Butler

The tools and skills I have developed through taking Statistics 1, 2, and 3 have been directly applied to my job as an analyst providing training assessments to the United States Navy. I don't believe that I have ever taken a program that more directly impacted my profession as quickly as this program has. These classes and the other classes with Statistics.com I am planning have profoundly effected the course of my career in a positive direction.

Additional Course Information

Organization of Course

This course takes place online at The Institute for 3 weeks. During each course week, you participate at times of your own choosing – there are no set times when you must be online. Course participants will be given access to a private discussion board. In class discussions led by the instructor, you can post questions, seek clarification, and interact with your fellow students and the instructor.

At the beginning of each week, you receive the relevant material, in addition to answers to exercises from the previous session. During the week, you are expected to go over the course materials, work through exercises, and submit answers. Discussion among participants is encouraged. The instructor will provide answers and comments, and at the end of the week, you will receive individual feedback on your homework answers.

Time Requirements

This is a 3-week course requiring 10-15 hours per week of review and study, at times of your choosing.

Homework

Homework in this course consists of guided data analysis problems using software.

In addition to assigned readings, this course also has practice exercises, short narrated software demos, and supplemental readings available online.

Course Text

The text for this course is Introductory Statistics and Analytics: A Resampling Perspective by Peter Bruce, (2014, Wiley).  This course material will also be provided electronically, with updates, as part of the course, but you may wish to purchase the book as a reference to retain after the course is over.

Please order a copy of your course textbook prior to course start date.

Software

In this course, software is needed for statistical analysis and simple resampling/simulation operations. We recommend one of these four options:

  1. Regular Excel (not Excel Starter) and Box Sampler (must have Windows)
  2. Regular Excel (not Excel Starter) and Resampling Stats for Excel (must have Windows)
  3. StatCrunch (Windows or Mac OS)
  4. R

Excel
You will need to have some facility with using formulas in Excel. If you don’t, please review either this tutorial or this tutorial before the course starts.

Box Sampler
This is a free add-in for Excel, designed as a visual teaching and learning tool for doing resampling simulations. Runs only on Windows.  Installation file is here, documentation here.

Resampling Stats for Excel
This is a commercial add-in for Excel, designed as a practitioner’s tool for doing resampling simulations. A free license is available to all course participants, while they are enrolled in the statistics.com sequence of introductory statistics courses. Runs only on Windows. Enrolled students will be given access to a free 1-year trial of Resampling Stats through the software download link on the main Stats course webpage.  You can also visit the Resampling Stats website and download the 1-year trial here.

StatCrunch
This is a very affordable web-based statistical software program, which also has simulation and resampling capabilities. Runs over the web, so can be used with both Windows and Mac. Resampling is not as intuitive as with Box Sampler and Resampling Stats for Excel.  Learn more at www.statcrunch.com.

Note for StatCrunch Users:  On all platforms, we recommend that you use the New version of StatCrunch.  All examples in the textbook supplement are based on the New version of StatCrunch.

R
R is a powerful opensource statistical scripting language that is widely recognized as an industry standard.  You will need to have familiarity with R and RStudio prior to taking the Statistics 1, 2 or 3 courses if you choose to use R as your software package.  Comprehensive supplemental materials are available for R users.  You can learn more about R here and RStudio here.
