Goals of module:
Students will acquire basic knowledge in planning empirical investigations, managing and
understanding quantitative data and conducting a wide variety of multivariate statistical
analyses. They will learn how to use the statistical methodology in terms of good scientific
practice and how to interpret, evaluate and synthesize empirical results from the perspective of
statistical modeling and statistical learning in basic and applied research context. The courses in
this module will additionally point out statistical misconceptions and help students to overcome
them.
