blurb

Statistics is the science---and art---of extracting data from the world around us and organising, summarising and analysing it in order to draw conclusions or make predictions. This course provides a grounding in the principles and methods of statistics. Topics include: probability theory; collecting, describing and presenting data; hypothesis testing; correlation and regression; and analysis of variance. Two themes running through the course are the use of statistics in the natural and social sciences and the use (and abuse) of statistics in the news media. We will use the open source statistical computing package R (no prior computing experience is assumed).
