Objectifs
The objective of this course is to provide students with a knowledge of data processing and analysis. Once the data is collected and organized, this course aims to provide the basics of statistical processing. More specifically, it proposes to train students in bivariate and multivariate analysis and classification. Emphasis is placed both on methods for data processing and on applications of models increasingly used in empirical analysis. The methods and models presented are systematically applied on a machine using the data processing software stata, GRETL and JASP softwares.
