  • ObjectivosObjectives
    LG1. Provide information that allows relating the knowledge acquired in the curricular unit Data Analysis n Psychology: Quantitative Methods I with the inferential analysis of data in the context of research in Psychology. LG2. Provide information on fundamental notions in the field of inferential statistics. Provide information on the objectives and methods of using computer applications (in particular, Jamovi) for the archiving and analysis of quantitative data in Psychology. LG3. Provide information on parametric and non-parametric statistical procedures that allow the analysis of hypotheses about the characteristics of the populations under study. LG4. Acquisition of basic skills within the main forms of inferential analysis, data archiving and analysis in Jamovi, selection of appropriate statistical procedures for inferential data analysis and graphical representation and writing of results related to descriptive analyses.
