STAT 032. Topics in Statistics: Data Analysis Projects in Public and Social Policy
This course is offered occasionally, when it was last offered in spring 2011 it was a Community-Based Learning project course in data analysis. Students worked in teams on a semester-long data analysis problem. Projects were drawn from data from local organizations in order to attempt to answer questions of direct importance to them. A key objective of the course is to expose students to the variety of challenges faced by the data analyst. Topics may include multiple regression, analysis of variance, analysis of covariance, and other related methods. Students research the scientific background of their problem and consult with the local organizations from which their data came.
