Course Description - This course provides
an elementary introduction to probability
and statistics with applications. Topics
include: basic combinatorics, random
variables, probability distributions,
Bayesian inference, hypothesis testing,
confidence intervals, and linear
regression.
Course Objectives
1. Learn the language and core concepts of
probability theory.
2. Understand basic principles of statistical inference
(both Bayesian and frequentist).
3. Build a starter statistical toolbox with appreciation
for both the utility and limitations of these
techniques.
4. Use software and simulation to do statistics (R).
5. Become an informed consumer of statistical
information.
6. Prepare for further coursework or on-the-job study.
Course Outline
1. Probability: (uncertain world, perfect
knowledge of the uncertainty)
2. Statistics I: pure applied probability (data
in an uncertain world, perfect knowledge of
the uncertainty)
3. Statistics II: applied probability (data in an
uncertain world, imperfect knowledge of
the uncertainty)
