This course provides advanced statistical methods for Causal Inference and Econometrics analysis.

Students will also have hands-on experiences on R programming languages, to apply those methodologies to real world data.

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

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

*It is highly recommended that students have already taken credits in Statistics offered by GSIA.
*It is also strongly recommended to register for this class if you plan to use Regression Analysis for your master thesis.

Course Title: Data Science

Class Format: Lecture

Content:
The course consists of two parts. In the first part, students have hands-on experiences in R programming languages with the instructor. Students then apply those programming skills to Econometric analysis in the second part of the class.
