Research Essentials - Analysing your Data

Research Essentials - Analysing your data

This workshop presents methods and concepts that will help you create world-changing research worthy of top-tier journals.

We introduce the concept of a research workflow, a series of defined steps that will assist you in thinking about your data and preparing it for statistical analysis. We introduce you to the resources available from both Sydney Informatics Hub and across the University that will support you in proceeding from hypothesis generation all the way through to publication.

Data analysis concepts will be covered in detail, including: how experimental design fits into hypothesis generation and your final publication; how to manage your analysis data and Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) – an essential and often-overlooked stage of data analysis for determining the appropriate statistical methods to apply in your research.

We will show you some of the more advanced statistical analysis methods to give you and idea of what is possible.

Note that this workshop does not require knowledge of or use of specific statistics software. The analysis methods may be performed using a range of commonly available software through the university.
