If you are involved in conducting or analyzing surveys, statistics.com’s
new online course “Survey Analysis” (February 18 – March 18) will be of
interest.
It covers the various aspects of survey reliability (test-retest, alternate
form, internal consistency, interobserver) and validity (face, content,
criterion, construct). Basic summary statistics are covered, and an easy
to understand guide to the application of various statistical analyses
(including correlation and regression analysis, the t-test, chi-square
analysis and more). The emphasis is not on the details of these
statistical methods, but rather on which analysis method is called for,
given the structure of the survey and the types of data it yields.
The instructor is Dr. Anthony Babinec. Dr. Babinec, an expert on survey
design and analysis, is Pres. of AB Analytics, and formerly Director of
Business Development and Director of Advanced Products Marketing at SPSS.
As with all online courses at statistics.com, you work online at times that
are convenient for you, and you will interact with the instructor over a
period of 4 weeks via a private discussion board. You will need to devote
about 10 hours per week to this course.
