# Data analysis: fundamental concepts of statistics

{% hint style="info" %}
Context note: this is a self-contained part of the [computational literacy for humanities and social sciences course](/cl4hss/master.md). You can use this to teach yourself some fundamental concepts of statistics. However, if you want to understand more broadly when you might want to use them, you're better off going through the whole course.
{% endhint %}

Statistics is about:

2. [Comparing groups](/cl4hss/data-analysis-fundamental-concepts-of-statistics/comparing-groups.md)
3. [Understanding relationships](/cl4hss/data-analysis-fundamental-concepts-of-statistics/understanding-relationships.md)
