授業の到達目標及びテーマ

This course provides an introduction to Data Science, Econometrics, and causal inference.

Identifying cause-and-effect is of most importance in many business and academic fields, thus the causal inference are now widely used in Business, Marketing, Psychology, Economics, Public Policy, and most importantly, in writing your master thesis.

In this class, we learn Statistics/Econometrics techniques to identify causality, together with some recent development in machine learning, all necessary for a modern data scientist.

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

授業の概要

Course Title: Data Science

Class Format: Lecture

Content:
After quickly reviewing the basic concepts in probability and statistics, we will learn about the basic toolkits in Econometrics/causal inference as well as a couple of machine learning techniques.

Students are also expected to use statistical software such as Python &/or R, to apply those methodologies to real world data.
