Applied Statistics: from Basics to Regression Modelling

In a rapidly changing (professional) context, lifelong learning has become a must. With microcredentials Ghent University offers a new type of course for a broad group of lifelong learners.

Microcredentials are short academic programmes that meet the high quality standards of Ghent University. Both in terms of content and practice, the development of a microcredential is primarily focused on the needs of professionals and lifelong learners. The focus of the programme is on a well-defined set of learning outcomes. They consist of a limited number of subjects to which credits are linked. For following a microcredential, your learning account will be used . If you successfully complete the programme, you will receive credit certificates for the individual subjects and a recognised certificate that offers clear added value for professionals and employers. Microcredentials are organised by the 'academies for lifelong learning' of Ghent University.

This microcredential comprises three modules of this year's course program in Data Analysis:

• Module 4 - Drawing Conclusions from Data: an Introduction
• Module 7 - Exploiting Sources of Variation in your Data: the ANOVA Approach
• Module 10 - Explaining and Predicting Outcomes with Linear Regression

• To have a good knowledge on the statistical procedures (one-sample, two-sample and ANOVA approach) and to be able to independently select the correct statistical procedure and assess the assumptions underlying the model
• To be able to execute the data analysis correctly and express the conclusions in a correct and understandable way.
