Learn about the most effective data analysis methods to solve problems and achieve insight.
This course will focus on how to plan, carry out, and communicate analyses of real data sets. While we will cover the basics of how to use R to implement these analyses, the course will not cover specific programming skills. Computing for Data Analysis will cover some statistical programming topics that will be useful for this class, but it is not a prerequisite for the course.
A computer with internet access on which the R software environment can be installed (recent Mac, Windows, or Linux computers are sufficient).
There is no standard textbook for data analysis. The course lectures will include pointers to free resources about specific statistical methods, data sources, and other tools for data analysis.
