Description

Many advances in modern science, ranging from livestock experiments to analysis of Martian soils, rely on statistical methods that link observation or experiment to a better understanding of how complex systems work. In this introductory subject, students both develop statistical literacy and learn how to present and interpret data for a common set of statistical models.

Topics include exploratory data analysis, randomness associated with experiment data, statistical modelling, sampling, probability, regression, analysis of variance, and tests of significance. Statistical computing forms an integral part of the subject. The R statistical software will be supplied.
