Introduction To Statistics And Data Analysis : ...

This introductory statistics textbook conveys the essential concepts and tools needed to develop and nurture statistical thinking. It presents descriptive, inductive and explorative statistical methods and guides the reader through the process of quantitative data analysis. In the experimental sciences and interdisciplinary research, data analysis has become an integral part of any scientific study. Issues such as judging the credibility of data, analyzing the data, evaluating the reliability of the obtained results and finally drawing the correct and appropriate conclusions from the results are vital.

This class covers applied statistical methodology from an analysis-of-data viewpoint. Topics covered include frequency distributions; measures of location; mean, median, mode; measures of dispersion; variance; graphic presentation; elementary probability; populations and samples; sampling distributions; one sample univariate inference problems, and two sample problems; categorical data; regression and correlation; and analysis of variance. Use of computers in data analysis is also explored.

The purpose of the course is to introduce the statistical methods that are critical in the performance analysis and selection of information systems and networks. It includes fundamental topics as well as applications: data analysis and representation; probability models; conditional probability and independence; reliability of systems and networks; binomial, Poisson, and geometric distributions; data relationships; correlation; inference with confidence; significance tests; network simulation and analysis; performance analysis of systems and networks.

COURSE GOALS: To provide basic understanding of probabilistic and statistical methods and the knowledge of the application of such methods to the evaluation and analysis of communication systems, information technology systems and networks, as well as application to other business models based on statistical data, including inference and hypothesis testing.

When a student completes this course, he/she should be able to:1. Perform basic analysis of data using statistical methods;2. Perform simple inference of system parameters from measured data;3. Perform simple performance analysis of network or switch models;4. Analyze the reliability of interconnected systems;5. Perform a significance test to verify assumptions based on measured data;6. Make decisions based on statistical data.

Different topics in statistics, probability and game theory will be discussed in the context of various current events and media stories. The seminar will emphasize the understanding of the complexity of the data analysis involved.

Data science combines mathematical and computational skills, together with statistical and ethical reasoning, to draw conclusions from data. Programming is introduced with an emphasis on data analysis. Probability and algorithms are developed as tools for formal statistical modeling and inference, and for exploratory analysis and visualization of data.
