Course/Module description:
The course teaches principles of data analysis and computation-based statistical inference, with a secondary goal of teaching the R statistical computing language.
Students will learn visualization, data wrangling, sampling / simulation of probability models, and computer-based inference.
Course/Module aims:
The goals of the course:
1. Introduce and practice principles of data-analysis and statistical computing.
2. Develop independence of the students as data analysts and R users.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
- Prepare, summarize and present data files in the R environment to answer research questions
- Study probabilistic models using simulations in R
- Use computer experiments to evaluate statistical methods.
