Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Statistics 2 deals with inferential statistics, that is the generalization from samples to populations. A main focus is on testing hypotheses. The aim of the lecture is to convey statistical knowledge which enables students to analyse data independently and to critically evaluate published results.
The lecture focuses on those methods that are commonly used in sociology. The examples are oriented at current sociological research and are usually based on the European Social Survey.

The following topics are covered in the lecture:
- Probability theory
- Probability distributions and central limit theorem
- Point and interval estimation
- Significance tests
- Statistical fallacies
- Outlook on multivariate analyses

The lecture is accompanied by exercises and a tutorial.
