STS 2120 STATISTICS IN APPLICATION
This course offers an introduction to concepts in statistics at a deeper quantitative level than that offered in STS 1100. The course emphasizes rationales, applications and interpretations using advanced statistical software. Real world examples are drawn from economics, public health, psychology, sociology, political science, biology, and other disciplines. Topics include an introduction to study design, graphical exploration and presentation, descriptive statistics, one- and two-sample inferential techniques, linear regression, tests of independence, and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Student work will link statistical theory and practice with communication of results. This course is recommended for students pursuing quantitatively-based careers.
