INTRODUCTION TO STATISTICS FOR SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING

STAT 371

Introduction to modern statistical practice in the life sciences, using the R programming language. Topics include: exploratory data analysis, probability and random variables; one-sample testing and confidence intervals, role of assumptions, sample size determination, two-sample inference; basic ideas in experimental design, analysis of variance, linear regression, goodness-of fit; biological applications.

STAT 303

An understanding of the commonly used statistical language R. Topics will include using R to manipulate data and perform exploratory data analysis.

STAT 340

Teaches how to explore, model, and analyze data using R. Topics include basic probability models; the central limit theorem; Monte Carlo simulation; one- and two-sample hypothesis testing; Bayesian inference; linear and logistic regression; ANOVA; the bootstrap; random forests and cross-validation. Features the analysis of real-world data sets and the communication of findings in a clear and reproducible manner within a project setting.

STAT 240

Introduces reproducible data management, modeling, analysis, and statistical inference through a practical, hands-on case studies approach. Topics include the use of an integrated statistical computing environment, data wrangling, the R programming language, data graphics and visualization, random variables and concepts of probability including the binomial and normal distributions, data modeling, statistical inference in one- and two- sample settings for proportions and means, simple linear regression, and report generation using R Markdown with applications to a wide variety of data to address open-ended questions.

STAT 304

Provides an understanding of the commonly used statistical language R. Topics will include writing conditional expressions, loops, and functions; manipulating data matrices and arrays; extracting data from text; and making high level visualizations of data.
