STAT 301 - Data Analysis in Action

3.00 credits

(2,2,0)

15 wks

The ability to analyze data is an increasingly important skill in many fields of study. This problem-based course introduces common inferential statistics and data analysis techniques to students interested in improving critical thinking about data and evidence-based decision making. Students will explore different data visualization and data analysis techniques in the context of practical problems and students will investigate predictive analysis techniques using statistical software or spreadsheet add-ins.

Prerequisites: 45 credits of 100-level or higher coursework including one of the following: STAT 101, STAT 205, BADM 210, LBST 201, PSYC 213, TOUR 350 or KINE 302

Notes:

  • STAT 301 is an approved Quantitative/Analytical course for baccalaureate degrees.
  • STAT 301 is an approved Science course.

STAT 305 - Introduction to Big Data Analysis

3.00 credits

(4,0,0)

15 wks

This course introduces modern tools and techniques used for manipulation, analysis and visualization of large datasets using software. Students will study regression models to make predictions and analyze the relationship between variables. Students will gain hands-on experience visualizing, analyzing, and interpreting large datasets from disciplines such as social sciences, life sciences, physical sciences, economics, education, and engineering.

Prerequisites: 45 credits of 100-level or higher coursework including COMP 115 and one of: STAT 101, STAT 205, LBST 201, BADM 210, PSYC 213, or KINE 302

STAT 310 - Predictive Modelling and Analysis of Experimental Data

3.00 credits

(4,0,0)

15 wks

This course introduces students to models, design and analysis of small to medium-sized experimental data using software. Students will design single-factor and factorial experiments as well as analyze the effect of each factor and the interaction among factors. Statistical methods such as t-tests and ANOVAs will be used to analyze data. Simple and multiple linear regression models will be used to make predictions and analyze relationships between variables. Students will gain hands-on experience applying these techniques to data from disciplines such as social sciences, life sciences, physical sciences, economics, education, and engineering.

Prerequisites: 45 credits 100-level or higher coursework including one of STAT 101, STAT 205, LBST 201, BADM 210, PSYC 213, TOUR 350 or KINE 302
