Statistical comparisons using SPSS (QCIF) [webinar]

This is a QCIF course and places are highly limited as Graduate School is paying the fee. If you are unable to attend, please de-register (or email graduateschool@uq.edu.au if you are unable to do so). An unexplained absence could result in all your future QCIF registrations becoming Waitlisted. You may only attend the workshop once. Repeat bookings will be removed and placed on the Waitlist.

Recommended Participants

The workshop is relevant for all disciplines, although examples and exercises will be based around clinical datasets.
