Meeting Description:



This workshop is a hands-on introduction to statistical methods for
both graduate students and seasoned researchers. Using the open source
software and programming language R, we will



- briefly recap basic aspects of statistical evaluation as well as
several descriptive statistics;

- discuss a variety of monofactorial statistical tests;

- explore different kinds of multifactorial and multivariate methods,
in particular different kinds of regression approaches, principal
components, and cluster analysis.



For all statistical methods to be explored, we will also discuss how
to test their assumptions and visualize their results, and sometimes
we will reanalyze published data from corpus-linguistic studies. Also,
there will be a small section on how to write small
statistical/visualization functions yourself. The boot camp will be
_in part_ based on Gries (2009,
<http://tinyurl.com/StatForLingWithR>), but go beyond it in terms of
the methods and datasets covered.

instructor, etc., please go to:
