Statistics live!
In this seminar, students will develop and improve their statistical skills. Next to theoretical introduction of statistical procedures, this course's focus is on the application of statistical analyses in the data-analysis software R.
We will work with current social science datasets like the European Social Science Survey, the German Longitudinal Election Study or the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study.

Topics that will be covered are:
- Handling of large datasets
