Student Seminar in Statistics: The Art of Statistics
We will study the book "The Art of Statistics: Learning from Data" by David Spiegelhalter. The focus of the book is not so much on technical aspects, but more on concepts, philosophical aspects, statistical thinking and communication. Chapters will be presented by pairs of students, followed by an open discussion with everyone in the class.
Lernziel
We will study roughly one chapter per week from the book "The Art of Statistics: Learning from Data" by David Spiegelhalter. The focus of the book is not so much on technical aspects, but more on concepts, philosophical aspects, statistical thinking and communication. This will also be the focus of the class, but we may occasionally look up additional information from references that are given in the book. Besides improving your statistical thinking, you will practice your self-studying, collaboration and presentation skills.
