Catalog Description
Examine fundamental principles in probability and statistics. Cultivate an understanding of descriptive and inferential statistics. Conduct and interpret statistical analyses using statistical analysis software, and apply these analyses to common issues in informatics.
Offered on the letter-grade basis only.
Instructor Description
We will describe data using visual and numerical descriptions (visualization and summary statistics). We will learn to make predictions and draw inferences using simple and multiple linear regression. We will learn classification using logistic regression. We will learn how to interpret diagnostic plots that accompany linear models. We will practice all these things using R and RStudio, which will be taught as part of the class. Some math and programming is not required but will be helpful in reducing the workload in the class.
While a statistics course is required for all undergraduate Informatics degrees, similar classes offered by other departments may be substituted for this one.
Restrictions
Generally restricted to undergradute Informatics majors through registration period 1 and extended to Informatics minors in period 2. Outside students will only be accepted during period 3.
