This course provides an overview of basic probability and matrix algebra required for statistics. Topics include sample spaces and events, properties of probability, conditional probability, discrete and continuous random variables, expected values, joint distributions, matrix arithmetic, matrix inverses, systems of linear equations, eigenspaces, and covariance and correlation matrices. Prerequisite: A prior course in calculus II.

This course provides an introduction to data analysis using the Python programming language. Topics include using an intergrated development environment; data analysis packages numpy, pandas and scipy; data loading, storage, cleaning, merging, transformation, and aggregation; data plotting and visualization. Prerequisite: A prior course in statistics and a prior course in programming.

This course introduces methods to approach uncertainty and variation inherent in elementary statistical techniques from multiple angles. Simulation techniques such as the bootstrap will also be used. Conceptual discussion in lectures is supplemented with hands-on practice in applied data-analysis tasks using R. Prerequisite: A prior course in statistics and a prior course in programming.

This course provides a platform for exploring advanced statistical modeling and analysis techniques through the lens of state-of-the-art sports analytics. Prerequisite: A prior course in mathematical statistics, a prior course in regression, and a prior course in programming.

Students will work in teams on a capstone project. The project will involve significant data preparation and analysis of data, preparation of a comprehensive project report, and presentation of results. Many projects will come from external clients who have data analysis challenges. Prerequisite: A prior course in regression and a prior course in programming. This course is restricted to Statistics majors in their final year.

Introduces various topics in machine learning, including regression, classification, resampling methods, linear model selection and regularization, tree-based methods, support vector machines, and unsupervised learning. The statistical software R is incorporated throughout.Prerequisite: STAT 5120, STAT 6120, or ECON 3720, and previous experience with R Prerequisite: STAT 5120, STAT 6120, or ECON 3720, and previous experience with R

An introduction to linear statistical models in the context of data science. Topics include simple and multiple linear regression, generalized linear models, time series, analysis of covariance, tree-based classification, and principal components. The primary software is R.Prerequisite: A previous statistics course, a previous linear algebra course, and permission of instructor.

Course develops fundamental methodology to regression and linear-models analysis in general. Topics include model fitting and inference, partial and sequential testing, variable selection, transformations, diagnostics for influential observations, multicollinearity, and regression in nonstandard settings. Conceptual discussion in lectures is supplemented withhands-on practice in applied data-analysis tasks using SAS or R statistical software.Prerequisite: Graduate standing in Statistics, or instructor permission.

This course introduces methods for presenting data graphically and in tabular form, including the use of software to create visualizations. Also introduced are databases, with topics including traditional relational databases and SQL (Structured Query Language) for retrieving information. Prerequisite: A prior course in statistics and a prior course in R programming.

This course provides an introduction to the probability & statistical theory underlying the estimation of parameters & testing of statistical hypotheses, including those in the context of simple & multiple regression Applications are drawn from economics, business, & other fields. No prior knowledge of statistics is required. Highly Recommended: Prior experience with calculus I; Co-requisite: Concurrent enrollment in a lab section of STAT 2120.
