This includes cleaning and preparing data for analysis, exploratory data analyses using simple graphics and tables, acknowledging and working with missing data, advanced graphics including map graphics to communicate results, statistical hypothesis generation & confirmation, introduction to the LaTeX typesetting language, advanced R Markdown formatting techniques (HTML, PDF, Word), figure and table creation with proper adaptive labels and captions, and bibliography with adaptive citations. Basic skills with a test editor (such as Notepad) and Microsoft Excel are assumed. Students are expected to have basic skills in R and RStudio as covered in STAT 212. This course will be held in a computer lab with R and RStudio installed but students will need computer access outside of class. |

Co-located: STAT 476, STAT 276W-1, STAT 276-1 Prerequisites: STAT 211, 212, 213, or equivalent. Description: This course offers an introduction to statistical computing in the R environment. To start, focus is placed on assigning objects, creating data structures, applying Boolean logic, importing and subsetting data, data manipulation (both long and short formats), and implementing elementary commands and built-in functions from R packages. In the second portion of the course, students learn more advanced topics of writing loops, developing functions, building graphics, debugging code, and text mining. Topics will be illustrated using key statistical tools, including basic data summarization and exploration, linear models, and simulations. The course will rely upon the use of R Markdown as an essential tool for effectively integrating R code and output into presentable reports. Basic skills with a text editor (such as Notepad) and Microsoft Excel are assumed, as is basic knowledge of statistical inference. |

Description: This course is an introduction to statistical methodology, focusing on the probability and statistical theory underlying the estimation of parameters and testing of hypotheses. Students are exposed to basic data exploration, summarization of graphical display of data, axioms of probability, distributions and related theory, parameter estimation, and statistical inference. Advanced topics include linear correlation and regression analysis. Students will perform calculations with statistical software such as R/RStudio. Please note that, because of the significant overlap between them, students may earn credit for only one of these courses: STAT 211, STAT 212, STAT 213, or BIOL/STAT 214.This course is recommend for students majoring in Statistics, Economics, or Computer Science, or students looking for a mathematical introduction to statistics who are likely to continue on to other upper-level methodology courses. |
