quickly. It provides an introduction to methods of summarising and
presenting data, estimation, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing.

statistical software is available for practical work.
Introduction to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
****************************************************************
Dates: 30 April - 1 May 2008. Duration: 2 days. Price: 535 GBP.
Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is a key technique popularly used in analysing
research data. Every serious researcher needs to acquire skills in using
this technique, and to have a good appreciation of the underlying concepts.
In this beginners' course, the theory, practice and interpretation of ANOVA
in studies involving treatment (grouping) factors and in regression analysis
will be explained. The General Linear Model (GLM) on which the ANOVA is
based will be discussed in order to demonstrate how ANOVA can be used to
deal with more complex situations.
Computer-based practical sessions using appropriate statistics software
(Genstat, Minitab, SAS, SPSS or Stata) will give participants the skills
needed to apply ANOVA ideas. Data from a variety of scientific disciplines
will be used to illustrate the analysis with emphasis on the interpretation
of output in relation to study objectives.
