What you’ll learn in this course

Where should you start with quantitative data analysis for market research projects? How can you get the most from frequencies and crosstabs? How can you work effectively with data analysts or statisticians who may be supporting your market research projects? What are some of the important predictive options you can consider? 

In this 4-part program, Instructor Dan Reynolds will teach the basics of quantitative analysis in a fun, practical way. Includes examples, exercises, and real-time demonstrations. This market research class is ideal for those new to quantitative data analysis. No previous background in statistics is required.

Note: This class does not include generating data analysis; it focuses on planning for and interpreting data analysis. For conducting data analysis, we offer Intro to SPSS , SPSS 201, and Statistics with R. We also recommend using the many excellent tutorials offered by the statistics software companies. 

Upon course completion, you will be able to:

  • Create a plan for data analysis success
  • Choose among several data analysis options
  • Avoid common pitfalls in data analysis
  • Use quantitative data to describe attitudes and behaviors

As a student, you get lots of helpful videos, readings and reference material.
