Stats for Philosophers

Free one-day workshop for philosophers interested in learning the basics of statistical analysis.  The aim of the workshop is to help philosophers become more competent readers of empirical papers.  Presenters will cover basic terminology, methodological foundations, data analysis, as well as issues philosophers sometimes overlook when integrating their work with literature in the sciences.
