The main objective of this course is to make a gentle introduction to basic statistical inference tools. Students are expected to implement and apply the inference methods to statistical hypotheses motivated by real life problems. Using a high level programming language (such as R or Python) throughout the course is mandatory.
Upon successful completion of this course, a student will be able to:
1.Develop an ability to apply appropriate statistical methods to summarize and analyze data
2.Use graphical methods and statistical measures to explore data
3.Use several statistical modeling techniques to solve business practice problems
4.Apply linear and logistic regression as a statistical learning method
5.Apply these techniques on large sets of data using a high-level programming language such as R or Python.
