Description
JASP is a free multi-platform open-source statistics package, developed and continually updated by a group of researchers at the University of Amsterdam. It has a simple drag and drop interface, easy access menus, intuitive analysis with real-time computation, and a display of all results. JASP can perform from basic data analysis (descriptive statistics such as central tendency, dispersion, histograms, scatter plots, box-plots, raincloud plots, comparisons between groups and between measures such as t-test, Analysis of Variance, non-parametric tests such as Mann-Whitney, Wilcoxon, Kruskal-Wallis, Friedman, parametric and non-parametric correlations, simple and multiple regressions, linear mixed models, generalized linear mixed models) to more advanced data analysis such as factorial analysis, networks analysis, meta-analysis, structural equation modeling, visual modeling, machine learning and many more.
I think that everybody who is interested in data analysis deserves to know about JASP and to learn how to use it.
I invite you to join me on this learning journey. At this moment, there are several analytical modules from JASP for which I have already generated learning tutorials, but this is an ongoing process, and this course is growing from one week to another.
I need a companion on this journey. So what are you waiting for? Let's go!
Who this course is for:
- Students from a large diversity of sciences (data science, engineering, sociology, psychology, anthropology, economics, marketing, business etc))
- Managers and entrepreneurs who want to gain valuable information by analyzing data in their domains
- Professionals who want to take a big step further in their careers by adding new cognitive tools to their belt
