Modern Regression

9 units · Undergraduate

Fall: 9 units This course is an introduction to the real world of statistics and data analysis. We will explore real data sets, examine various models for the data, assess the validity of their assumptions, and determine which conclusions we can make (if any). Data analysis is a bit of an art; there may be several valid approaches. We will strongly emphasize the importance of critical thinking about the data and the question of interest. Our overall goal is to use a basic set of modeling tools to explore and analyze data and to present the results in a scientific report. A grade of C is required to move on to 36-402 or any 36-46x course. *The spring course is primarily for SCS students.* Prerequisites: ( 36-236 Min. grade C or 36-326 Min. grade C or 36-218 Min. grade B or 15-259 Min. grade B or 36-226 Min. grade C) and ( 18-202 or 21-240 or 21-242 or 21-241 )
