Purpose
This seminar offers an accessible introduction to quantitative methods for the political and social sciences, aimed at researchers with little or no prior background. Through weekly lectures paired with hands-on lab sessions, participants build the core statistical ideas and basic coding skills needed to conduct and critically assess empirical research. The course covers descriptive analysis, linear regression, probability and statistical inference, and the foundations of causal inference. By the end, participants should grasp the core principles and be able to carry out and interpret the results of basic quantitative analyses.
