Class Notes:

Class Description:
This course will introduce you to the foundations of probabilistic analysis, which is a way to make the connection between data and useful understanding. Statistical models simplify the complexity of real-world data into relationships we hope to act on to change outcomes, or at least to understand outcomes a little better. There is an ever-growing set of statistical approaches to gathering knowledge from data, and they ultimately derive from common principles. We will focus on these principles of statistics as we apply techniques to examples in land use, transportation, and regional development.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this course you should be able to:
  • Ask questions to evaluate statistical evidence in scientific articles and the media

  • Describe the importance of probability sampling, variability, and measurement error

  • Understand and critique sampling design and survey administration

  • Construct causal models underlying statistical evaluation

  • Decide whether to pursue further training in advanced statistics and survey design
