The course is on exploratory statistical methods for data analysis. Hence its aim is somewhat comparable to Hertie's Statistics I and Statistics II. However, it will go beyond these courses in terms of methodological/mathematical depth. Advanced quantitative methods and modeling tools will be introduced and used for “making sense of numbers”. Examples and data are taken mainly from economics and health sciences. Data analysis will be performed using R.
This course is for 2nd year MIA, MPP and MDS students only.
