This is an applied course — applications of statistics in many different fields will be covered. The objectives of this course are to enable the students to understand how to think about data, and to be able to handle graphical and methodological ways to highlight what is going on in data, summarize relationships in data using statistical models, and demonstrate the ability to highlight structure in data by doing so. Students will see many analyses of real data, and will spend lots of time doing their own statistical analyses of real data using the computer and learning to interpret the results of those analyses.
