Introduction to Statistics using R
CSE-41198
Statistics allows us to collect, analyze, and interpret data. The R programming language is one of the most widely-used tools for data analysis and statistical programming. Its easy to learn syntax, built-in statistical functions, and powerful graphing capabilities make it an ideal tool to learn and apply statistical concepts.
In this course, you will master the most widely used statistical methods, while also learning to design efficient and informative studies, to perform statistical analyses using R, and to critique the statistical methods used in published studies. No prior knowledge of statistics or R is required and emphasis is on concepts and applications, with many opportunities for hands-on work.
Topics include:
- R Programming
- Accessing data
- Generating output
- Manipulating objects
- Performing and generating statistical analyses
- Creating statistical graphics
- Statistics
- Descriptive statistics
- Probability
- Hypothesis testing
- Power and sample size
- Correlation
- Regression
- Categorical data analysis
- Design of experiments
- Analysis of variance (ANOVA)
Practical experience:
- Hands-on experiments and statistical analyses using R
Software: R, a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics
Textbook: None
Course typically offered: Online, quarterly
Prerequisites: Knowledge of basic programming or Introduction to Programming is recommended.
