This introductory course prepares students to use statistics for data analysis. The course makes use of statistical computer software to achieve hands-on experience with data. This course covers methods for displaying and describing data as well as statistical inference. Topics include frequency distributions and their graphical representations, percentiles, measures of central tendency and dispersion, hypothesis tests, analysis of variance, correlation, and simple regression.

Review of the essential mathematics for statistics. Collection & tabulation of data; the properties of frequency distributions; histograms; boxplots; measures of central tendency, dispersion & correlation; tests of hypothesis using the normal curve, the T distribution, the F distribution. Liberal Arts Core/CORE Equivalent - satisfies the requirement for Quantitative Reasoning.

The second semester builds on the foundation of the first and covers particular methods of statistical inference that rely on the normal t, F, and chi-square distributions to test hypotheses about means, variances, correlations, and proportions.

An examination of scale fingerings, arpeggios, bowings, articulations & rhythmic patterns through single scales & double stops.

This is a course in intermediate and advanced foundations of statistical inference in the context of applied research and covers Bayesian workflow, conjugate models, MCMC, prediction and model evaluation, Bayesian estimation of GLMs, and introduction to hierarchical/multilevel models. Through this course, students gain an understanding of mathematical theory, implement related statistical algorithms in R and Stan, and interpret models and parameters in the context of applied statistical analysis of real data. Prior exposure to probability and statistics required.
