This course introduces the multivariate statistical techniques regularly used in educational research, such as MANOVA, discriminant analysis, cluster analysis, canonical correlation, logistic regression, structural equation modeling, etc.  By  integrating the application of computer software such as SPSS or LISREL, this course expands beyond basic concepts of statistical techniques to include more operational skills on doing research in educational and relating issues.  The dual-objective of this course is to provide a sound conceptual understanding on statistical issues, and to provide hands-on experience with major statistical software packages.  Specific objectives this course seeks to accomplish are as follows:

1.        To understand the basic principles of various multivariate statistical methods;

2.        To acknowledge the advantages and limitations of statistical methods and applications;

3.        To apply multivariate statistical methods to practical research situations within one¡¦s own research area, and propose solutions to real-world research issues;

4.        To analyze real data using software programs, SPSS or SEM software; and to propose a complete paper on the basis of precise statistical language.

 

Course Format and Activities

This course combines lecture and computer lab activities into one integrated format:

Lectures:  The instructor covers each topic by giving lectures in the class.  Lecture notes and reading material will be provided in advanced and students are highly encouraged to be constructive and reflective preview of assigned materials.

Computer Labs:  To enhance the concepts covered in the class lectures, computer demos of related topics will be presented in class, taking almost a half of the course hours.  Both real-life and simulated data will be used for these lab activities.  The computer labs take one of two forms ¡V demonstration of statistical software packages by instructor or practice by students themselves.

 

Prerequisites

Required:  The required prerequisite for this course is introduction to statistics or measurement course.  Students without this background are strongly encouraged to consult the instructor, although no enforcement will be made to block enrollment.

 

Recommended:  The recommended prerequisite is computer knowledge and skills.  Experience with statistical packages and computer programming is highly desirable for successful completion of this course.  Students without any background in computer use are encouraged to team up with someone who does. 

 

Assignment

I. Class example:

Follow the class schedule, students have to read the chapters in advance and introduce one of the examples in text in order to leading the lecture of the class.  A short memo is required and distributed to the auditors in the class.

II. Final project

One empirical study has to be done by focusing at least on one multivariate statistical technique.  Real data is analyzed and the writing of the paper has to follow the APA format.  Oral presentation will be scheduled in class.  Paper due at the end of the semester.

III. Lab homework

This course requires students to conduct separate exercises in correspondent to the class materials for lab work.  A simple and short homework answer sheet has to turn in at the following week.  The dataset will be provided by lecturer during the class.   **(Note. Each homework has to be answered by two students and reported at the class.)
