Course Syllabus
Abstract
The course provides students with a basic knowledge of statistics and data analysis techniques. The course consists of three parts. In the first part we will talk about general ideas of statistics and data analysis, mainly discussing descriptive statistics and basic data manipulations. In the second part of the course we will move towards inferential statistics and hypothesis testing. In the third part, we will apply machine learning techniques for data analysis. All the course practice will be conducted in Python. There are 3 credits for this course.
Learning Objectives
- Via this course, students will acquire a solid basis in data manipulation and visualization.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- After this session, students should be able to: - Apply numerical techniques for describing and summarizing data - Identify, compute, and interpret descriptive statistical summary measures - Differentiate between the measures of central tendency, dispersion, and relative standing
