\n Bayesian statistics, an alternative to the traditional frequentist approach taken in our other statistics courses, is playing an increasingly integral role in modern statistics. The Bayesian philosophy is natural, allowing us to formally balance data with our prior knowledge, and updating this knowledge as more data come in. It answers natural questions. It can shine in settings where frequentist "likelihood" methods break down. And it is becoming increasingly popular with the availability of computing tools necessary to its implementation. This course explores the Bayesian approach to statistical analysis, Bayesian computing, and both sides of the frequentist versus Bayesian debate. Topics include Bayes' Theorem, prior and posterior probability distributions, Bayesian regression, Bayesian hierarchical models, and an introduction to Markov chain Monte Carlo computing techniques.

\n "Correlation does not imply causation." We've all heard this mantra, warding us away from reading too much into the association between murder rates and ice cream sales, between shoe size and reading ability, and the like. But this mantra leaves us wanting: how do we study causation? Questions of causation are essential when we try to understand the effects of new medical treatments, economic policies, or government programs. In this course, we'll examine frameworks of thinking, statistical tools, and study designs that enable us to learn about the causal effects of interventions. Some specific topics include causal graphs, experimental studies, and quasi-experimental study designs. This course is a capstone course with a significant project component.

In this class, we discuss advanced visualization and modeling approaches for when the data are correlated. Topics will include time series analysis, longitudinal data analysis, and spatial data analysis. Applications are drawn from across the disciplines.

\n This third course in the data science curriculum is a capstone course that emphasizes team-based learning through open-ended data science projects. Working with a team throughout the course of the semester you will take on an interdisciplinary in-depth data science project and gain experience in developing and refining research questions, identifying and wrangling datasets, and clearly presenting results and conclusions. Mini-lectures by the instructor, guest speakers, and students will present advanced topics that supplement and support team-based learning.\u00a0Counts as a capstone course for the Computer Science major and the Data Science major.
