Mathematica: Basics (Self-paced) Tue 7 Mar 2017   09:30 Finished

This course is part of the Scientific Computing series.

Mathematica is a software package for numerical computation, symbolic manipulation and the production of graphics from mathematical functions and data. This course is for beginners and new users of the package and describes basic concepts and use of Mathematica.

Mathematica: Graphics (Self paced) Sun 12 Jul 2020   09:30 Finished

This course is part of the Scientific Computing series.

Mathematica is a software package for numerical computation, symbolic manipulation and the production of graphics from mathematical functions and data. This course examines Mathematica's graphical capabilities in more detail than the "Mathematica: Basics" course.

Mathematica: Numerical Linear Algebra Wed 15 Mar 2017   14:15 Finished

This course is part of the Scientific Computing series.

This course will cover using Mathematica for simple numerical programming, concentrating on linear algebra. It will indicate how it can be used for more advanced work, but not attempt to teach the details. The emphasis will be more on teaching what can be done than on teaching rules for how to do specific tasks.

Mathematica: Symbolic Linear Algebra new Tue 21 Mar 2017   14:15 Finished

This course is part of the Scientific Computing series.

This course will cover using Mathematica for symbolic calculations (i.e. ones operating on formulae and not just numbers), concentrating on linear algebra. It will show how to use this to get first and higher order approximations to some linear algebra problems. It will indicate how it can be used for other such work, but not attempt to teach the details. The emphasis will be more on teaching what can be done than on teaching rules for how to do specific tasks.

Attendees should note that this is one of the most advanced courses on scientific computation given in the University, by any department, and is not suitable for inexperienced programmers.

SPSS (Statistical Package): Basic Part 1 Tue 16 Jun 2020   09:30 Finished

SPSS is a powerful general purpose statistical package with high quality graphics and tabulation facilities, and a reputation for being relatively user-friendly. This course is for beginners and fairly new users of the package. Basic concepts and use of SPSS will be introduced. The main aim of the course is to give participants a foundation and some background. However statistical techniques are not covered (see note below).

SPSS (Statistical Package): Basic Part 2 Wed 1 Jul 2020   14:00 Finished

SPSS is a powerful general purpose statistical package with high quality graphics and tabulation facilities, and a reputation for being relatively user-friendly. This session follows on from Part 1 and covers useful techniques and tricks. It is strongly recommended for anyone likely to use SPSS for any but the very simplest analysis of the very simplest data.

SPSS: Beyond the Basics charged Thu 9 Jul 2020   14:00 Finished

This session follows on from SPSS: Basic Parts 1 and 2 and continues to introduce useful techniques for data analysis with SPSS. Working with sensitive data types will be covered and a basic introduction to SPSS command language.

The SPSS for Windows statistical package includes a built-in Tutorial and a set of Case Studies. When SPSS is launched, the Tutorial is one of the options offered. Alternatively, it may be found under the Help menu where the Case Studies are also located.

Stata (Statistical Package): Introduction Sat 27 Jun 2020   14:15 Finished

Stata is a powerful general purpose statistical package.

This course is for beginners and fairly new users of the package. Basic concepts and use of Stata will be introduced. The main aim of the course is to give participants a foundation and some background. However statistical techniques are not covered (see note below).

The first session looks at an overview of the Stata system and getting data into Stata format and the second looks at reporting, graphing and analyses. It is strongly recommended for anyone likely to use Stata for any but the very simplest analysis of the very simplest data.

Stata for Regression Analysis Sun 19 Jul 2020   14:15 Finished

This course is for new users who have learnt how to get data into Stata, and know how to operate basic syntax having completed the Basics course or through self-study with the student version or manuals. Emphasis will be on examples of running applied analyses of regression models for continuous, binary and ordinal outcomes using standard Stata procedures. Guidance will also be provided on further addons that may be of interest.

Statistics for the Terrified is a tutorial available on the PWF PCs aimed at people who want a very basic introduction to statistical concepts and techniques. It does not cover the use of any particular software, nor any advanced or specialist topics.

R: Regression Analysis in R Sun 7 Jun 2020   14:15 Finished

This course is for new users who have learnt how to get data into R already, and know how to operate basic syntax. Emphasis will be on examples of running applied analyses of regression models for continuous, binary and ordinal outcomes using standard R procedures.
