An Introduction to Factorial Survey Experiments- Part 3
No full textIn this final video, Dr Tamara Gutfleisch demonstrates some practical examples using Stata. Specifically, she focuses on checking the data quality and how to analyse and interpret the data obtained from factorial surveys
Bayes rule
No full textIn this video, Andrei Zhirnov walks through an example of data generation using a simple scenario to formulate a likelihood function, specify the prior beliefs, and update those beliefs using the likelihood function constructed
Bayes rule continued
No full textIn this video, Andrei Zhirnov continues to look at the Bayes rule, adjusting the priors to be more appropriate if the analysis was taking place for a different time in the year. Andrei explores how the results might differ based on changes to the data available
Computations in R
No full textIn this video, Andrei Zhirnov looks at computational approaches to computational methods and how the Markov chain Monte Carlo approach can be used. The video includes an exercise outlining six steps to estimate a logistic regression
Cross Classified Models Part 3: Extensions and Further Applications
No full textIn this third lecture, Professor William Browne shows how we can extend cross-classified models to more than 2 higher-level classifications and different response types and how the notation and classification diagrams can be extended. Two examples from epidemiology and ecology are used to look at how cross-classified models can be used to estimate the importance of different factors using 3 and 4 higher-level classifications
Using Freedom of Information Request in Research- Part 2
No full textIn this second video on using freedom of information request in research, Professor David Whyte looks at nine practical steps for making freedom of information requests for use in research
Web scraping and Covid-19: Covid 1
No full textIn this video, Dr Diarmuid McDonnell shows how web scraping can be used to collect up-to-date summary statistics on the COVID-19 pandemic. He looks at a real example to explain how detailed statistics and tables of statistics from a website containing information on COVID-19 data can be extracted
Using Freedom of Information Requests in Research Part 1
No full textIn this video, Professor David Whyte looks at the structural challenges of using freedom of information requests to generate research data. He also discusses FOI data as 'collective' or 'co-produced' research, how these data can be used in research and what problems can occur when using FOI-generated data
Biological datasets in Understanding Society
No full textIn this video, Senior Research Officer Anna Dearman gives an overview of the biological datasets available in Understanding Society, the UK Household Longitudinal Study (UKHLS), and describes the relevant biology for lay audiences
