Description:
The Linguistics Research Unit of the Institute of Language and Communication (Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium) will be hosting Stefan Gries’s next bootcamp on statistics for linguistics with R from 29 June to 3 July 2015.
The statistics bootcamp is a 30-hour hands-on introduction to statistical methods for both graduate students and seasoned researchers. Using the open source software and programming language R, we will:
- briefly recap basic aspects of statistical evaluation as well as several descriptive statistics;
- discuss monofactorial statistical tests for frequencies, means, dispersions, correlations; the emphasis will be on practicing these as well as to understand how many of these approaches are in fact just special (limiting) cases of regression methods;
- explore different kinds of multifactorial and multivariate methods, in particular different kinds of regression approaches as well as hierarchical cluster analysis (see bootcamp’s website for more detail).
