The objective of this course unit is to provide the necessary foundation in statistics to follow the more advanced modules in the curriculum; it is therefore a general refresher course. Descriptive statistics are reviewed (quantiles, cumulative frequency polygons, sample-based estimators); simple tests are introduced; essential graphs for univariate and multivariate data are presented; and the general principles of statistical testing, hypothesis testing, the concept of the p-value, and Type I and Type II errors are covered. In lab sessions, students also receive training in the R environment.
