    Course Objectives 1. Learn the language and core concepts of probability theory. 2. Understand basic principles of statistical inference (both Bayesian and frequentist). 3. Build a starter statistical toolbox with appreciation for both the utility and limitations of these techniques. 4. Use software and simulation to do statistics (R). 5. Become an informed consumer of statistical information. 6. Prepare for further coursework or on-the-job study. Specific Learning Objectives Students completing the course will be able to: Probability 1. Use basic counting techniques (multiplication rule, combinations, permutations) to compute probability and odds. 2. Use R to run basic simulations of probabilistic scenarios. 3. Compute conditional probabilities directly and using Bayes’ theorem, and check for independence of events. 4. Set up and work with discrete random variables. In particular, understand the Bernoulli, binomial, geometric and Poisson distributions. 5. Work with continuous random variables. In particular, know the properties of uniform, normal and exponential distributions. 6. Know what expectation and variance mean and be able to compute them. 7. Understand the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem. 8. Compute the covariance and correlation between jointly distributed variables. 9. Use available resources (the internet or books) to learn about and use other distributions as they arise. Statistics 1. Create and interpret scatter plots and histograms. 2. Understand the difference between probability and likelihood functions, and find the maximum likelihood estimate for a model parameter. 3. Do Bayesian updating with discrete priors to compute posterior distributions and posterior odds. 4. Do Bayesian updating with continuous priors. 5. Construct estimates and predictions using the posterior distribution. 6. Find credible intervals for parameter estimates. 7. Use null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) to test the significance of results, and understand and compute the p-value for these tests. 8. Use specific significance tests including, z-test t-test (one and two sample), chi-squared test. 9. Find confidence intervals for parameter estimates. 10. Use bootstrapping to estimate confidence intervals. 11. Compute and interpret simple linear regression between two variables. 12. Set up a least squares fit of data to a model.
