Apologies for cross-postings and to those of you have seen an advert elsewhere.
This is just a reminder about a 3-day short course on Dealing with Data which I'm running at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK from 22nd to 24th January 2002. Details are as follows. ======================================================================== This course covers the fundamentals of statistics, explaining underlying principles in a non-technical way. It builds up the basic ideas of statistics and data analysis for delegates with little or no previous knowledge of the subject. It is also a chance for delegates who were "switched off" when they first came across the subject. Our course develops in a non-technical way, making use of many numerical examples to explain the underlying principles. We make extensive use of MINITAB statistical software. This approach has been extremely successful with delegates (having backgrounds in chemistry, biology and engineering) on our MSc programme in Industrial Data Modelling. The topics covered will include: * Discrete and Continuous Data, Sample Measures, Grouped Data, Joint Frequency Table * Binomial, Poisson, Normal (Gaussian) and Negative Exponential (Time to Failure) Distributions * One and Two Sample Tests of Means, Variances and Proportions * Confidence Intervals, Power and Determination of Sample Size * Bivariate and Conditional Concepts, Independence, Covariance, Correlation Coefficient * Goodness of Fit Tests and Tests of Independence * Nonparametric Tests ======================================================================== **Cost** The total fee is £600 (VAT free), to include registration, course materials, certificate of attendance, and coffee, lunch and tea each day. **Availability** Numbers are limited to 16. If you would like to register please contact myself in the first instance, quoting your name, company, address, telephone number, fax number and Email address. We have negotiated reduced rates with three local hotels (Best Western Belmont House Hotel, Jarvis Grand Hotel and Holiday Inn); please let me know if you would like more details. More information can be obtained from myself and/or found on our Web site at http://www.cms.dmu.ac.uk/Courses/MScIDM/ Feel free to pass this information to anyone you think might be interested. Since this course has been developed from the material in the first module of our distance-learning MSc/PGDip/PGCert/CPD programme in Industrial Data Modelling it is possible to upgrade to a full module credit and to register for the programme at a later date. If you would like more information on either the short course or our distance-learning programme just let me know. All the best.
