Online Course – 5th Edition
January 30th-February 10th, 2023
This course will be taught using a combination of live (synchronous) sessions on Zoom and tasks to be completed in between live sessions on the Slack platform.
Live sessions will be recorded. Recordings will be made available to participants for a limited period of time. However, attendance to the live sessions is required.
Course OverviewThis course is aimed to introduce participants on the basic concepts of statistical analysis, through examples belonging to the fields of palaeontology and archaeology. There will be lectures combined with exercises.
More than understanding the mathematical basis of each statistical analysis, this course is intended to provide each participant with the tools to develop and statistically test different hypothesis.
We will be using free user-friendly software (PAST).
All participants must have a personal computer (Windows, Macintosh). Webcam and headphones are needed to the correct development of the class, as well as a good internet connection.
