Brief description of the course
Drawing conclusions about populations, statistical significance tests. Parametric and nonparametric tests, Regression analysis, ANOVA and ANCOVA models.
The course covers the basics needed for collecting and cleaning data, the essential exploratory techniques for summarizing data, the basic components of building and applying prediction functions with an emphasis on practical applications. The course will provide basic grounding in concepts such as training and tests sets, and error rates. The course covers program R possibilities for processing data and data analysis. We will cover the plotting systems in R as well as
some of the basic principles of constructing data graphics.
