Bespoke Training: Advanced Statistical Analysis

Making Sense of Your Data through Advanced Statistical Methods

Overview

Do you want to help your organisation improve productivity and enhance performance? A highly developed understanding of statistical models will do just that.

Our Advanced Statistical Analysis course has been designed to help those with a background in statistics to understand and use more advanced statistical models to make better sense of their data.

Book this team training course and through highly interactive workshops, gain a better understanding of the concepts behind advanced statistics; learn how to apply the Bayesian model and utilise more complex statistical methods, such as non-linear curves and hypothesis testing.

Practice using R programming on public sector data sets, which will help you utilise more advanced statistical methods to improve your organisation’s performance.

Learning Outcomes

  • Apply advanced statistics within your organisation

  • Use the Bayesian statistics theory to predict trends

  • Learn how to use R programming to analyse your data

  • Gain a firm understanding of advanced statistics concepts

  • Utilise advanced statistical methods to improve your organisation’s performance



All the Understanding ModernGov courses are Continuing Professional Development (CPD) certified,
with signed certificates available upon request for event.
