The social sciences study the relations between attitudes, opinions and behaviors. This variety of topics often results in complex research questions. For example, one may be interested in finding the best predictors of smoking, political preference or happiness. Alternatively, the aim may be to reduce the information in a questionnaire with 200 questions into a limited number of variables.
This module is recommended for students with an interest in sociology, economics, geography, criminology, empirical political sciences, social psychology and focuses on logistic regression, a multiple regression model that can be used to predict dichotomous data such as yes/no decisions. Following the theoretical introduction, the student learns to apply these models on a real data set from an international survey using SPSS.

Schedule:
This course is taught during the last five weeks of the semester. It uses the same timeslot as the UCACCMET23 group did during the first ten weeks.
