3 Credits.

In this course, we will focus on hands-on data analyses with a main objective of solving real-world problems. We will teach the necessary skills to gather, manage and analyze data using the R programming language. We will cover an introduction to data wrangling, exploratory data analysis, statistical inference and modeling, machine learning, and high-dimensional data analysis. We will also learn the necessary skills to develop data products including reproducible reports that can be used to effectively communicate results from data analyses. Students will train to become data scientists capable of both applied data analysis and critical evaluation of the next generation next generation of statistical methods.
