Spend the day with us and find out.
Analysis 101 will take participants through the three main steps of the analytical process:
- Planning your analysis addresses how to define an analytical question, how to identify and choose data sources, and how to create a formal analysis plan;
- Performing your analysis discusses how to best organize, examine, and interpret your data. Instructors will provide analytical examples and tips for conducting analysis;
- Reviewing your work and disseminating your findings provides participants with best practices for reviewing their work and presenting their findings to an audience. Instructors will also present a case study illustrating how the process was applied in a Statistics Canada analytical product.
This is a full-day course that includes both a structured presentation of the analytical process, as well as hands-on group and individual activities. Resources for the activities will be provided on-site.
