290152 VO Introduction into Statistical Data Analysis in Geography II (2008S)

This course is addressed to students in the basic study period and will provide a basic methodical training. As regards content it is directly following the course "Statistical Data Analysis I", therefore it is recommended to take that course first. The main focus lies in the presentation of the most important bivariate testing procedures for different data levels. Furthermore two multivariate methods often used in geography - regression analysis and cluster analysis - will be discussed. The attendance of both courses should enable students to solve regional statistical problems by using the adequate uni-, bi- or multivariate methods.
