Course Information
Description
Introduction to the principles and methods of statistical inference, as a framework for achieving the three main goals of statistics: describing data and a phenomenon of interest, predicting one variable using another variable, and drawing causal conclusions about the effect of one variable on another. Frequentist and Bayesian perspectives on model building, learning from data, and making decisions under uncertainty. A three-pronged approach is emphasized, combining theory, simulation, and data.
