Course Objectives: | The course introduces fundamental topics in statistics and implements its applications to industrial, medical, financial, energy and similar type very large-size datasets to infer meaninful statistical results. The course is for gradute students with no significant background on this subject. Implementations will be performed on the open source statistical software R. Introduction to R programming will be given. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; I. Identify basic terms in statistics. II. Gain ability to use and apply basic methods and programming tools used in statistics over various engineering disciplines. III. Ability to explore data and its relationships. IV. Ability to perform hypothesis testing for statistical problems. V. Perform statistical inference over statistical data. |
Topics include: Introduction to R programming, Sampling, Data Exploration, Exploring Relationships, Probability, Random Variables and Probability Distributions, Estimation, Hypothesis Testing, Statistical Inference, Multiple Testing Correction, ANOVA, Analysis of Categorical Variables, Regression Analysis, Bayesian Analysis, Survival Analysis, Over Representation Analysis, Meta Analysis. |
