Empirical Research Methods



In this course you will learn how to conduct research using empirical
methods, which rely on observation and experimentation. This course is
appropriate for those interested in using empirical research methods
in their field, particularly students in the social and behavioral
sciences. Topics include the formulation of the question to be
investigated and the of resulting hypotheses, the collection of data
and the analysis of the data collected, and the interpretation and
study of analysis results.

We assume that learners entering Empirical Research Methods (ERM) have
taken at least a semester or year-long course in statistics and,
through this or some other experience, have been exposed to the
following concepts:
Random Variables

Population and Samples

Data Tables (rows=sample units and columns=variables)

Summary Statistics: Mean, Median, Variance, Covariance, Correlation

Graphs: Boxplots, Barcharts, Histograms, Scatterplots

Inference: standard errors, confidence intervals, hypothesis tests,
etc.

Models: Bivariate Regression, perhaps ANOVA
If learners have not had such exposure, they can follow the
appropriate links into the OLI introductory statistics course to
review the required concepts.
