Course Description
This is a university level course taught by a professor with 15 years of teaching experience at Columbia University and other institutions including New York University, Yale University, and Berkeley.
It is a clear and concise version of my Columbia University course titled “Statistical Thinking for Data Science” (google title for details). It is the companion course to the third edition of my book “Statistical Thinking through Media Examples” published by Cognella. You can preview and purchase my book from their website (google book title) .
My course and book provides you with the statistical intuition and understanding you need, through media, research, and real-world data examples. I communicate the statistical concepts in my course and book in a language you will understand with a minimum of calculations. You will learn to go beyond the news headlines to critique the quality of the research for yourself, including polls and surveys. You will learn how to conduct statistical analysis and how to interpret the results.
With a solid foundational understanding of statistics, you can build on that foundation with confidence. You can become a statistical analyst or data scientist with the statistical intuition to properly conduct research and interpret the results. Join me and start building that necessary foundation today!
