Introduction to Statistics (DSCRP) [webinar]
This course provides participants with a practical foundation in statistical concepts and methods commonly used in research. It covers data types, descriptive statistics, data visualisation, sampling, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and basic statistical analyses. The course emphasises selecting appropriate statistical methods, interpreting results, and understanding statistical assumptions rather than software-specific skills and focuses on applying statistical thinking to real research problems.
