Statistical analysis learning pathway

Description

Statistics is the fun of finding patterns in data; the pleasure of making discoveries; the import of deep philosophical questions; the power to shed light on important decisions, and the ability to guide decisions in business, science, government, medicine and industry. This pathway prepares you for practical statistical analysis by providing a strong conceptual understanding of tools and processes involved in analysing data using various techniques from Regression to Bayesian analysis.

Learning objectives

• Understand the key concepts and practices used within statistics.
• Demonstrate the ability to use tools and technology to manipulate data and perform statistical analysis.
• Explain and interpret the statistical model created using industry standard tools and technologies.
