Semester Offered: Fall or Spring
1 unit(s)

Research studies are used in many fields, from economics and political science to physics, biology, and medical research. All of them share a need for statistically valid methods for study design and the analysis of results. This course covers the statistical principles and challenges behind randomized and non-randomized studies in these and other fields, highlighting the role statisticians play in the research process. Mathematical theory, examples, and simulations in R are considered in evaluating study designs.

Prerequisite(s): AP credit in statistics, MATH 141 or MATH 240; MATH 220, MATH 221, and MATH 241.
