Introduction to Inferential Statistics: the class you need before regression

This course is offered as part of the Radboud Summer School in Social Research Methods, in collaboration with MethodsNET (a global network that offers excellent training in social research methods).

In top social science journals half the articles are littered with tables, numbers, statistical findings. This class demystifies these and makes you an informed consumer of quantitative research.
