Regression Analysis: A Hands-on Approach
****************************************
Date: 2 February 2006. Duration: 1 day. Price: 270 GBP.
(Fee of 720 GBP for attending this course together with A Review of Basic
Statistics (31 January - 2 February).)
Regression is a powerful technique for studying relationships between
quantitative variables. Summarising relationships by the most appropriate
equation (modelling) is very quick when using a statistical package. It is
also easy to progress from basic models to more complex situations, such as
comparison of regressions.
Microsoft Excel for Statistics? What you can and cannot do
*****************************************************

(Fee of 720 GBP for attending this course together with Taking Microsoft
Excel Further: Macros for Data Management and Statistics (22-24 February).)
This course gives practical experience in the use of Excel for data summary
and presentation, and for other basic statistical work. It concentrates
primarily on the areas where Excel really can excel. This includes
organising data, i.e. basic data management, tabulation using Excel's pivot
tables, and graphics. We also review Excel's facilities for statistical
analysis and how add-ins or other statistical software can be used together
with Excel.
Taking Microsoft Excel Further: Macros for Data Management and Statistics
********************************************************************

The ease with which Excel can be extended is a welcome and useful surprise
for those who wish or need to use Excel for statistical work.
This one-day course introduces participants to ways of extending Excel using
macros and other features of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Examples
include simple programs to reorganise data and to perform statistical
calculations.
