Data Analysis with Programming

Introduction

The students will learn the most important techniques in applied statistics and data analysis, with an emphasis on linear regression and logistic regression. Students are given hands-on experience with data analysis projects, and will gain further knowledge in working with data, using descriptive statistics to motivate models, and using models to turn data into actionable knowledge. Data examples and applications will be given.
