1. Jamovi Software
Jamovi is first presented as a statistical environment with a specific module-based structure and defined package capabilities. Using sample data, the section clarifies how the software is organized and what its core components support before advanced analyses are introduced.
- Jamovi – package properties,
- sample data,
- Jamovi modules.
2. Installation and work with the package
Working with the package begins from setup and quickly moves into routine analytical operations. Participants install Jamovi, navigate the interface, enter and import data, and compute variables, building the practical foundation needed for later statistical procedures in the program.
- installation of the package,
- interface,
- data entry,
- data importing,
- calculating variables.
3. Main software functions
Descriptive output in Jamovi forms the basis for initial data inspection and communication of results. Here the focus is on summary statistics together with histograms, density plots, and scatter plots, used to identify distributions, patterns, and relationships in observed variables.
- descriptive statistics,
- histograms,
- density plots,
- scatter plots.
4. Tests
For hypothesis testing in simpler study designs, the course addresses procedures for one sample, independent samples, and paired samples. Attention is placed on selecting the proper test according to the research setup and interpreting results within the context of the data.
- tests for independent samples,
- tests for paired samples,
- tests for one sample.
5. Regression
Relationships between variables can be explored at several levels, from association to prediction. This section starts with the correlation matrix and then moves to linear, binomial logistic, and multinomial logistic regression, with emphasis on matching the model to the outcome type.
- correlation matrix,
- linear regression,
- binomial logistic regression,
- multinomial logistic regression.
6. Anova
When group differences must be assessed under varying assumptions, Jamovi offers both parametric and nonparametric approaches. The training covers one-way ANOVA, multivariate analysis of covariance, and the Kruskal–Wallis and Friedman tests for appropriately structured comparisons.
- one-way analysis of variance,
- multivariate analysis of covariance,
- Kruskal – Wallis test,
- Friedman test.
7. Factor analysis
Factor-based methods are used here to examine structure and measurement quality in multivariate data. The section combines reliability analysis with principal component analysis and exploratory factor analysis, showing how these procedures support scale evaluation and variable reduction.
- reliability analysis,
- principal component analysis,
- exploratory factor analysis.
8. Data editing and program personalization
Saving work efficiently in Jamovi involves both data handling and environment setup. Participants work through methods for storing datasets and analyses, then adjust personal program settings so recurring tasks can be performed in a more consistent and controlled way.
- methods of data saving,
- saving analyses,
- personal program settings.
9. Information archiving
Long-term work with analytical results depends on orderly storage of files, outputs, and supporting materials. This section addresses how to archive information so datasets and completed analyses remain accessible, traceable, and easier to reference in later stages of a project.
10. Data sharing
Publishing results requires more than exporting output. This part focuses on preparing one’s own analyses for sharing, with attention to how results are organized, documented, and presented so they can be communicated clearly and reused in further work.
- preparation and publication of one's own analyses.
11. Summary of acquired knowledge
The closing segment consolidates the analytical workflow covered throughout the course, from data preparation to model selection and result reporting. It helps relate individual Jamovi functions to appropriate statistical tasks and reinforces how to choose methods that match the structure of the data.
