Description:
The Linguistics Research Unit of the Institute of Language and Communication
(Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium) will be hosting Stefan Gries’s
next bootcamp on statistics for linguistics with R from 29 June to 3 July
2015. 
The statistics bootcamp is a 30-hour 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 monofactorial statistical tests for frequencies, means, dispersions,
correlations; the emphasis will be on practicing these as well as to
understand how many of these approaches are in fact just special (limiting)
cases of regression methods;
- explore different kinds of multifactorial and multivariate methods, in
particular different kinds of regression approaches as well as hierarchical
cluster analysis (see bootcamp’s website for more detail).
