Title: Tutorial Activity: Causality
Course: UGQuants (SSPS) > Section: Causality

Tutorial Activity

With this module, we are slowly approaching more advanced model building with more than two variables. The first steps of this are those we have explored already:

- formulating a research question
- producing frequency tables and graphical representations of data as means of exploring it
- forming a hypothesis
- identifying possible associated variables and the strength of their association
- checking for possible intervening variables and useful control variables

In this tutorial, please form research teams. Choose a data set you want to work with, agree on a research question and try to answer it with the techniques you have learned so far. Be prepared to present and defend your findings at the end of the session.

Possible projects:

Predict political interest.

Predict a country's HIV rate.
