Course overview
This master'ls level statistics and data analysis course introduces methods for harnessing data to answer questions of cultural, social, economic, and policy interest. It begins with essential notions of probability and statistics and proceeds to cover techniques in modern data analysis: estimation, regression and econometrics, prediction, experimental design, randomized control trials (and A/B testing), machine learning, and data visualization. We will illustrate these concepts with applications drawn from real world examples and frontier research.
