About the Course

Statistical inference is the process of drawing conclusions about populations or scientific truths from data. There are many modes of performing inference including statistical modeling, data oriented strategies and explicit use of designs and randomization in analyses. Furthermore, there are broad theories (frequentists, Bayesian, likelihood, design based, …) and numerous complexities (missing data, observed and unobserved confounding, biases) for performing inference. A practitioner can often be left in a debilitating maze of techniques, philosophies and nuance. This course presents the fundamentals of inference in a practical approach for getting things done. After taking this course, students will understand the broad directions of statistical inference and use this information for making informed choices in analyzing data....

Course is compressed with lots of statistical concepts. Which is very good as most must know concepts are imparted. Lots of extra reading is required to gain all insights. Very good motivating start .

I really like the use of media by this professor. The class itself is far more analytical and work than the preceding classes.

The course should be more elaborated. I had to go through other reference books on statistics to understand all the topics.

There is few programming in this course. However, in this class, you will learn a lot of statistical model to analyze data.

In debth enough to go through concepts slowly, but high level enough to keep them applicable to different problem settings

Very nice course. Fellows without college probabilites and calculus might find this course very difficult to understand.
