By the end of the course, students should have a sense of the wider range of niche advanced analytical tools that may be of use in a range of applied situations. The class will introduce students to a range of topics, like advanced wrangling, data reduction, regression analysis, classification, missing data handling, complex survey analysis, dynamic visualization, machine learning, and Bayesian analysis.
