36-402 Advanced Data Analysis Units: 9.0 Department: Statistics Prerequisites: 36-401 Related URLs: http://www.stat.cmu.edu/www/cmu-stats/ This is a project course in data analysis. Students work in teams on a semester-long data analysis problem. Past projects have been drawn from current research in neuroscience, genetics, finance and psychology. Data analysis requires the application and extension of statistical methods and computing skills learned in 36-401. A key objective of the course is to expose students to the variety of challeges faced by the data analyst. Students research the scientific background of their problem, consult with subject-area scientists, and communicate their methods and results both in writing and in class presentations. At the end of the semester, each team presents a poster of their project at the "Meeting of the Minds" undergraduate research symposium.
