In this subject, you will develop your quantitative data analysis skills and learn techniques which are commonly used by researchers to answer important questions and by senior managers in making informed business decisions. Topics in the first component of this subject include; descriptive statistics, probability distributions, parametric estimation methods, parametric and non-parametric hypothesis tests, and both simple and multiple regression analysis. In addition to the linear regression modelling, the subject will cover panel data analysis. This knowledge will then be extended with advanced techniques including limited dependent variable models such as logit, probit models, ordered probit and tobit. Authentic assessments in this subject will promote critical thinking, problem solving and inquiry whilst strengthening your analytical, report writing and communication skills.
