MSTI 221 - Data Analysis and Modeling

Institution:

Saint John Fisher University

Subject:

Description:

This course builds on students' prior mathematical and statistical experience to focus on the analysis of data through building models. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on understanding the models and using this understanding to inform decision-making. A significant aspect of the course is the use of appropriate, realistic technologies for the collection, analysis, and reporting of information. Central ideas in the course are asking questions that data can help answer; organizing and representing data to aid in analysis; analyzing data with mathematical tools; investigating the implications of the analysis, especially in terms of decision-making; and communicating clearly what has been done and what it means. Possible data analysis tools include pivot tables, multiple regression models (with categorical data and interaction terms), optimization, and simulations.
