Description: This course is designed for those who want to e xtend their data analytic skills beyond a basic knowledge of multipleregression analysis and who want to communicate their �ndings clearly to audiences of researchers, scholars, andpolicymakers. The course contributes directly to the diverse data analytic toolkit that the well-equipped empiricalresearcher must possess in order to perform sensible analyses of comple x educational, psychological, and socialdata. Topics in the course include more e xtensive use of transformations in regression analysis, in�uence statistics,building and comparing tax onomies of regressio n models, general linear hypothesis testing, logistic regressionanalysis, multilevel modeling, and principal comp onents analysis, and introductions to survival analysis, generalizedlinear modeling, cluster analysis, and measurement theory . S-052 is an applied course that offers conceptualexplanations of statistical techniques, along w ith opportunities to examine, implement, and practice them in realdata. Because the course will feature the intensiv e use of Stata statistical software in all data analyses, learning thecomputer skills necessary to conduct these kinds of analyses, and the communication skills to discuss them, is anintegral part of the course. Attendance at one of two weekly sections is required.

Prerequisites: successful completion of S-040 (B+ or better allowed, A- or A recommended) or an equivalent course orcourses that include 10 or mor e full hours of class time on multiple regression and its direct extensions. Students who do notmeet the prerequisite should consider S-030.

Class Notes: Required, 90-minute sections.

Learning Goals:

The course is designed to de velop and extend the data-analytic skills acquired in earlier courses and to help studentslearn to communicate �ndings clearly to audiences of other empirical researchers, scholars, policy-mak ers,practitioners, students, and parents. W e have designed S-052 to contribute to the diverse data-analytic toolkit thatyou will need in order to perform sensible and b elievable analyses of complex educational, psychological, and socialdata.

Career Focus:

This course supports careers that require data-analytic liter acy and data-analytic �uency. Literacy goals includeasking critical questions of current educational, social science, and health science research reports and peer-reviewed publications. Fluency goals include p roductive contribution to quantitative research teams and writtenanalyses. Common ne xt steps include doctor al research trajectories, research think-tanks, governmentalorganizations, data journalism, and the wide arr ay of for-pro�t and not-for-pro�t organizations that value data-analytic skills.
