The course will establish a foundation of statistical modeling techniques to be immediately useful for analysis and to provide a foundation for more advanced material studied throughout the program. Topics will include data types, random numbers, probability models, hypothesis testing and statistical inference, and a thorough grounding in simple and multiple regression. The design of the course ensures that all students, regardless of background or experience, are proficient in the use and application of a variety of statistical methods.
