Description
Relational statistical tests are used when the researcher wants to investigate relationships among mostly continuous variables. In this workshop, we will cover the two most common relational tests: correlations and multiple regression. We will also introduce you to how to handle categorical variables and interactions (aka, moderation) in a regression framework.
Facilitators: Tyler Pyle, Office of Research Data Analysis, Office of Research
Twila Wingrove, Office of Research Data Analysis, Office of Research
