This unit aims at providing general knowledge and the skills needed for a researcher to perform statistical analysis on a dataset in order to prepare a number of hypothesis and perform due research. By using a number of editing and visualisation tools, this unit allows researchers to interface with a number of data storage applications, create data models, and perform the necessary data transformations and analysis. Finally, this unit covers various techniques for how data can be visualised and prepared in dynamic reports.           Â
