This course provides an introduction to the advanced statistical methods in Data Science, Machine Learning, and Econometrics.

Students will also have hands-on experiences on programming languages such as Python &/or R, to apply those methodologies to real world data.

No programming skills are required. We also welcome those who are interested in programming skills and data scientists.

*It is highly recommended that students have already taken “Statistics” offered by GSIA.
*The class materials and schedule are subject to change depending on students’ statistical skills and research topics.

Course Title: Data Science

Class Format: Lecture

Content:
After we review some basic concepts in probability and statistics, we will learn about the basic toolkits in machine learning and Econometrics, using Python and/or R programming languages.

Students must bring their own laptop computers for the in-class programming exercises.
