Section Title:
Python in Data Science Program
Section Info:
This course provides the foundation for programming and conducting statistical analysis in Python. In the first part of the course, we focus on introducing the fundamental elements of Python assuming students have little to no experience in programming. Next, we will get used to Git and Docker. Finally, we will dive into how to conduct real-world statistical analysis in Python using applications in social network analysis, machine learning, etc. as examples.

Section Title:
DataScience ProgrammingMethods
Section Info:
This course provides the computational foundation for rigorous data science work, both applied and in research. Starting from key foundations (the shell, git, Markdown and SQL), we focus on a solid introduction to programming in R. Next we discuss keys to reproducible computing (R packages, Docker) as well as some computational and algorithmic foundations. Finally, we examine in some detail extensions for better performance, notably using C++ with R. Course Information: 3 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours. May be repeated with approval. Prerequisite: STAT 410, STAT 420, and STAT 425 or consent of instructor. Students who previously enrolled in STAT 385 should not register for this course.
