Revision as of 19:19, 2 January 2016
Learning outcomes
- The study of variability important to help answer: "what happened?"
- Univariate tools such as the histogram, median, MAD, standard deviation, quartiles will be reviewed from prior courses (as a refresher)
- The normal and t-distribution will be important in our work: what are they, how to interpret them, and use tables of these distributions
- The central limit theorem will be explained conceptually: you cannot finish a course on stats without knowing the key result from this theorem.
- Using and interpreting confidence intervals will be crucial in all the modules that follow.
Extended readings
- New Boeing planes will generate 0.5 TB of data per flight. Read about this, and other sources of data: "every piece of that plane has an internet connection, from the engines to the flaps to the landing gear".
- All students, but especially the 600-level students should read the article by Peter J. Rousseeuw, Tutorial to Robust Statistics it is easy to read, and contains so much useful content.
