Short Courses and Tutorials

The Data Science and Analytics team offers the following self-paced online study guides introducing the basics of our supported statistical packages.  

These study guides were initially short courses offered in a classroom twice per semester, however, they have been migrated to the online format to reach a wider audience and allow self-paced learning.

These pages were designed to show how a particular software package can be used, e.g., R, SPSS, SAS; they are not designed to teach statistics or how to interpret statistics – although some interpretation is offered among the many pages.

Note that these short courses are introductions for the uninitiated. If you already have notable experience with a package, you will likely not find the class offers much more than you already know.  We also are available – with adequate planning – to work out presentations tailored more to your research group's needs.  

Please contact a member of the DSA staff for more information.
