It should answer a substantive issue of your choice using acceptable descriptive and inferential statistics. Set out your research question(s) and explain how the statistical tools learnt in the module will be used to answer them. Both the substantive issue (brief literature review) and the research methodologies employed should be referenced. You should specify the dataset you’ll use to answer your research question(s), as well as operationalize your dependent and independent variables.
Before detailing any bivariate or multivariate analysis, include a discussion of exploratory or descriptive methodologies. All variables must have descriptive statistics, and key bivariate correlations must be discussed. To address your original research topic, you should employ a variety of bivariate and multivariate statistical approaches. Your capacity to interpret your data in terms of statistical significance and in the context of your research topic must be demonstrated in your report (s).
You might also want to use graphs to represent anything that you think is interesting or helps the reader understand your data analysis report.
