About this Course
The goal of this course is to introduce you to a variety of programs and
technologies that are useful for organizing, manipulating and
visualizing data. This includes the R statistical computing language,
the SQL language for working with databases, XML, the Document Object
Model and Common Gateway Interface (CGI) used by webservers and browsers.
Rather than concentrate on formulas and how they are computed, we'll use
existing software to explore a variety of statistical problems concerning
text and/or numbers, both numerically and graphically. Students are
encouraged to download and install some of the software that we'll be using
to their own computers.
There are no prerequisites for the course, but students are expected to
spend time thinking about the problems that are presented in the course,
and to explore the software that we'll be using to solve those problems.
Grading
Grading will be based on 6 homework assignments (10% each),
a midterm exam (20%) , and a final exam (20%).
Computers for Remote Access
If you are accessing the SCF remotely, use a computer name of the
form scf-ugNN.berkeley.edu, where the NN stands for a number from
01 to 27, for example scf-ug03.berkeley.edu . Once you are logged in,
the command
stathosts public
will show you the names of additional computers that you can
access remotely. (You may need to add ".berkeley.edu" to the end
of the computer name.)
