Concepts in Statistical Data Analysis

Catalog description

This course examines the concepts behind statistical thinking in data analysis. Using rudimentary programming, simulation, and mathematical techniques, students will see what is behind the meaning of statistical significance (and the P-value), as well as the conclusions that can justifiably be made from a study. They will use a statistically software package, be introduced to the modern techniques of randomization of bootstrapping, and learn some classical statistical techniques as well.
