STS 347 STATISTICAL COMPUTING FOR SIMULATION AND THEORY
An intermediary course in statistical computing and theory using R software. This course introduces the software R with an emphasis on utilizing its powerful graphics and simulation capabilities. This course also presents R companion software, such as R Studio. This course focuses on a non-calculus based approach to understanding theoretical statistical concepts through a simulation-based approach. Students will gain knowledge and experience in writing both simple and more advanced simulations in R. This course has two parallel goals of becoming fluent in R syntax and developing and understanding of statistical theory through simulation.
