Winter Semester 2024/25

Part 1: Statistics and Econometrics Β· MK-068-EN (TM) WS2024/25. Empirical Research Methods

The second run of the programme, and the one the slide sources in the repository correspond to. Every deck below exists in two forms: the interactive slides rendered from the .qmd source, and the PDF that was uploaded to Ilias for the students (the dates are the days the PDF was added to the repository). Two decks read data that is not in the public repository, so for those only the PDF is available; see the note at the end.

Inside a deck: ? shows the keyboard shortcuts, o opens the slide overview, f goes full screen, m opens the menu, and e switches to print view so you can save the deck as a PDF from your browser.

Sources

The sources of this cohort are the current state of the repository: materials/ on the main branch. The last content change for the cohort is commit f36972a of 27 November 2024, β€œSlides completed 2024”.

NoteTwo decks are PDF only

Week 01, Part 2 reads materials/data/poverty-population.csv and Week 03 reads an SPSS file from the Uganda nutrition project. Both files are kept out of the public repository (see the .gitignore), so the decks cannot be rendered here. The PDFs above are the versions the students received. Once the two files are in place locally, the decks render with the rest of the site; the README explains how.
