Paper Description
STATS221 extends the data collection and analysis techniques introduced in first year statistics courses. It is the gateway paper in the progression of frequentist statistics through to third year level. Students who pass this course will be prepared to cope with typical statistical problems in any field of research or practice.
The application of statistics is the primary focus of this course. Students will be taught to use the statistical software R to perform useful analyses, interpret the output and convey the results of such analyses. No prior experience with R is assumed.
