Optentia to host second Stats Camp South Africa

During 2019 the North-West University’s (NWU’s) Optentia research focus area made history by hosting the first-ever Stats Camp South Africa. In 2020 they will yet again step into the fore and present this internationally recognised educational event.

The four-day analysis retreat will take place during the last week of April 2020 and aims to enhance analytical competency in social and psychological research at a graduate and postgraduate level. This year will see Optentia collaborating with two international experts on statistical analysis, Prof Todd D Little and Prof Rens van de Schoot to present the retreat.

This event will furthermore bring experts across a wide range of statistical and methodological disciplines together for the purpose of helping researchers tackle any issues they might be facing with regard to their research projects. According to Prof Ian Rothmann, research director at Optentia, the instructors and teaching assistants form a collaborative network to help guide researchers through the research process.

“Stats Camp Analysis Retreats are highly relevant to current trends and practices in modern advanced statistical analysis,” explains Prof Rothmann and adds that they enable researchers to get practical hands-on instruction that delivers practical value.

* Each year, full week-long Stats Camps and Mini Camps are held in locations throughout the world.
