We can obtain various kinds of data through experiments, observations, or surveys. Statistics is one of the methods that can
allow us to extract information from such data and understand the structure behind it. Statistical analysis methods have become
increasingly important in recent years and they have been actively developed in various directions. The contents of this class
are fundamental and have been used for a long time. Their understanding is thus important for handling data. In this class,
students will learn how to use basic concepts and analytical methods of statistics.
Students will understand and be able to apply methods of data description, probability distributions, inferential statistics,
and linear models.
| Goals and objectives | Course Outcomes | |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Students will be able to understand and use methods of describing and summarizing data. | |
| 2. | Students will be able to understand probability, probability distributions, and their relationship to data. | |
| 3. | Students will be able to understand and apply inferential statistics to data. | |
| 4. | Students will be able to understand hypothesis testing and apply it to data. | |
| 5. | Students will be able to understand linear models and apply them to data. |
