SCL (Statistical Consulting Lab) - UNI

• The Mathematics Department at the University of Northern Iowa has reconstituted its Statistical Consulting Lab (SCL), starting February 1, 2006 and running until at least mid-June 2011.

• The SCL will provide a free source of statistical support for a routine data analyses and is available to UNI students, faculty and staff. Larger, more time consuming projects would be billed at reasonable rates.

• Contact Mark Jacobson, the director of the SCL, at 273-7963 or jacobson@cs.uni.edu to set up your appointment. Email is strongly preferred over leaving phone messages.

Please email jacobson@cs.uni.edu if you want to be added to the mailing list for all short courses or for SPSS or SAS or Minitab short courses.

There will be two separate classes needed to cover the following topics, but each course will be independent of the other.

Learn about preparing data for SPSS with Excel, linear regression, ANOVA, correlation, chi square and crosstabs, value and variable labels, scatterplots, etc. How do I visualize (chart or plot or graph) my data with SPSS? How do you do Regression and ANOVA with SPSS? How do you understand the statistical output? Comparing means with Independent Samples T-Test, etc.

This class is a class for beginners and assumes no previous knowledge.
