DBA 9100 - Quantitative Research II

3 Credit Hours
Description
This course introduces students to quantitative methods such as experiments, field studies, and use of secondary data. It strengthens student’s ability to design and execute quantitative research with an emphasis on construct measurement (i.e., development of measurement scales associated with key variables of interest) and topics such as theoretical modeling, framing research questions, developing hypotheses, model refinement, reliability, scientific validity, and statistical conclusion validity. The course reinforces the knowledge base developed in Quantitative Research I (EDB 9080) with focus on univariate, bivariate and multivariate statistics (t-test, the ANOVA family, correlations, factor analysis, and OLS regression), nonparametric statistics, and structural equation modeling.
