Expanded Course Description
This course prepares students to apply computational, statistical, and inferential techniques to large data sets. Students will learn to obtain data from public sources, distill critical information, characterize the data using statistical techniques, and make quantitative predictions based on their analyses. Topics include the normal distribution, confidence intervals, regression, and classifiers. Ethical concerns resulting from use of the techniques in this course will be addressed.
