Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The teaching methodology comprises two components. The first consists of an expository approach, in which the terms, concepts and models of statistical analysis are presented and interpreted.
The second is a practical approach where, using the SPSS software, the different statistical methods are presented, the different model estimation procedures are performed and explained and, finally, the outputs obtained are analyzed and discussed.
