Methods

The SMCS is committed to providing UCLouvain's scientific and academic staff with a network of skills, methodological support and computational tools to meet their needs in the field of data analysis, whether for research or teaching purposes.

Below is a compilation of the statistical methods used by the SMCS team in consultancy and taught in training courses. The list is sorted by family; you can also use the search tool.

By following the link in front of one particular method, you'll find a short explanation of it, as well as a list of the courses in which that method is covered.
