Course Syllabus

Abstract

The main objective of statistics is quantification of uncertainty in estimation and inference. Since most, if not all, real-world datasets are noisy or sampled, data analyses need statistics. In this 6 week course you’ll learn about common and useful statistical tools and their implementations in Python.
Learning Objectives

Learning Objectives

  • Formulate data analysis question as a statistical hypothesis, and select the most appropriate tool to test it.
  • Quantify the uncertainty in estimates of parameters of interest with confidence intervals.
  • Estimate causal effects from observational data with the help of causal graphs.
Expected Learning Outcomes

  • Know properties of maximum likelihood estimates.
  • Know how to build asymptotic confidence interval for a mean.
  • Know how to build bootstrap confidence intervals.
  • Remember how to test hypotheses.
  • Know how to test 3 types of hypotheses about proportions.
  • Understand 3 ways to test hypotheses using likelihood.
  • Know how to test 3 types of hypotheses about normal means.
