Analysis of Structured Data describes the main approaches to dealing with experimental data such as repeated measurements, that is, where a sequence of observations is collected on each experimental unit. Such data are common in agricultural, veterinary, medical and industrial research. A distinctive feature of the Reading MSc is the series of practical Data Analysis exercises designed to give students experience with the kind of problems that they will meet in their professional life. Students are taught about several statistical computer packages and make extensive use of them, particularly as an aid in Data Analysis and in the project. In addition to the core courses, six optional courses are chosen.
Topics vary from year to year, reflecting the research interests and expertise of teaching staff.
