Preparatory/Upgrade/Refresh Workshop
Eugene Horber
Eugène Horber is Professor of Applied Computer Science in
the Section des Sciences Sociales, University of Geneva. He teaches social
science methodology, applied computer science, and statistics. His
research interests and publications are in the area of statistical
methodology, aggregate data analysis, and applied computer science
(didactical software, hypertext). He is the author of a software package
for exploratory data analysis.
The purpose of this two day workshop is to offer optimal learning and
teaching conditions for the other workshops, i.e. to refresh knowledge and
skills that you acquired previously or that need some updating.
The final programme of this service workshop will be established based on the analysis of the questionnaire that will be sent to you after you have sent in your application on the one hand and the requirements of the workshop instructors on the other.
As several Summer School workshops will use SPSS as the main computer package,
one aim of this 2-day effort will be to brush up your skills or to help you
use SPSS if you are familiar with other statistical packages
