Contents
The contents include data collection (sampling, sampling error, issues with real-world data), data types (measurement level), and basic terminology (variable, observation, parameter, etc.); exploratory data analysis (e.g., distributions, simple summary statistics, outliers, correlations, and data visualization); inference using parametric tests (e.g., t-test, linear regression, and ANOVA), and non-parametric tests (e.g., rank-sum, signed-rank, and ?² tests for two-way tables). Alongside, R and RStudio are briefly introduced at the beginning and subsequently used for data processing and analysis in examples and exercises throughout the course.
The course combines lectures with in-class and take-home exercises and student presentations. Students are strongly encouraged to participate actively and engage in learning activities.
