Duration: 2 days. Price: 495 GBP. This course builds up the basic ideas of statistics systematically and quickly. It provides an introduction to methods of summarising and presenting data, estimation, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing. Mathematical details will be kept to a minimum. A wide choice of statistical software is available for practical work. Regression Analysis: A Hands-on Approach **************************************** Date: 4 October 2006. Duration: 1 day. Price: 270 GBP. Regression is a powerful technique for studying relationships between quantitative variables.

It is also easy to progress from basic models to more complex situations, such as comparison of regressions. This course gives a practical introduction to regression techniques.
