Introduction and Review of Concepts

In this module you learn about the models required to analyze different types of data and the difference between explanatory vs predictive modeling. Then you review fundamental statistical concepts, such as the sampling distribution of a mean, hypothesis testing, p-values, and confidence intervals. After reviewing these concepts, you apply one-sample and two-sample t tests to data to confirm or reject preconceived hypotheses.

ANOVA and Regression

In this module you learn to use graphical tools that can help determine which predictors are likely or unlikely to be useful. Then you learn to augment these graphical explorations with correlation analyses that describe linear relationships between potential predictors and our response variable. After you determine potential predictors, tools like ANOVA and regression help you assess the quality of the relationship between the response and predictors.

TOP REVIEWS FROM INTRODUCTION TO STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: HYPOTHESIS TESTING

by TMJun 28, 2021

Thoroughly enjoyed this course. In depth explanation of hypothesis testing, ANOVA and Regression, explained very clearly using SAS.

by RMJun 14, 2021

Thank you so much to the instructor, Jordan Bakerman for teaching this course.

by HFApr 28, 2022

Well Done Everything. Practices need to be clarified more because somebody know Statistics with less SAS and reversely some learners know SAS but less Statistics.

by WTSep 21, 2021

Wish there was a textbook or slides to accompany. Great class otherwise.
