Description
This module introduces fundamental statistics concepts. It is taught using examples and case studies relevant to cultural heritage, but it provides data analysis skills that are transferable to any other field. The module welcomes students with any background. By design, it can be followed with little pre-existing knowledge of statistics.
The module prepares you for the further study of statistical data science. It begins with a review of data typologies and finishes with multivariate regression. In between, you will learn probability, statistical distributions, the fundamentals of inference and linear regression. The module also helps you develop two skills: programming and linear algebra. It is taught using the statistical package 鈥淩鈥, with exercises that increase gradually in complexity. It also includes introductory lectures on mathematical notation and algebra.
