As part of the CoLiTec <\/a>initiatives, Maja Mili\u010devi\u0107<\/strong> (University of Belgrade) and Adriano Ferraresi<\/strong> (University of Bologna) held a one-day workshop at the Department of Interpreting and Translation (DIT) offering an introduction to statistical concepts and methods in (corpus) linguistics.<\/p>\n

The workshop was an excellent opportunity for anyone wishing to include quantitative analyses in their research. As Maja and Adriano repeatedly warned, statistics can be a bit “tricky” and one needs a firm grasp of quantitative methods to describe and generalise data properly!<\/p>\n

After learning how to formulate a hypothesis and organise data accordingly, participants were initiated into the R software<\/a> and its command line environment. The morning session covered basic descriptive statistics (including frequency distributions, measures of central tendency and measures of dispersion), which were then applied to a dataset. The afternoon session focused on how to generate graphs (scatter plots, bar charts, box plots, mosaic plots), and provided a theoretical and practical introduction to inferential statistics (chi-square test and correlation). <\/p>\n

Although R seemed a bit hard to learn initially, participants then familiarised themselves with it and were soon impressed by its potential.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
