The workshop will introduce basic statistical concepts such as: variance and covariance, correlation, effect size, p-value, sample and population, and types of variables. Methods for exploratory data analysis such as PCA and MCA, as well as basic statistical testing, will also be introduced. We will work in R and learn how to apply these concepts and methods to real linguistic data.

Participants will need to bring a laptop with R and several libraries installed (all freely available online). Information on this will be provided to registered participants prior to the workshop.

To sign up for the workshop send an email to Thomas Olander at olander@hum.ku.dk no later than Friday 26 May 2023.
