BTRY 7951 - Advanced Statistical Consulting


     
Spring. 2 credits. Letter grades only.

Prerequisite: BTRY 7950 . Co-meets with BTRY 4951 .

F. Vermeylen.

This course is a follow up to the Fall course BTRY7950. The students will be exposed to more advanced statistical methods. By interacting with consultants from the Cornell Statistical Consulting Unit (CSCU) and their clients, students will learn to provide statistical consulting to researchers from a variety of disciplines. Students will gain experience in choosing and implementing appropriate statistical procedures as well as communicating effectively to understand the client’s problem and to explain methodology and results to non-statisticians. 

Outcome 1: Integrate the statistical knowledge gained in courses and apply them to “real life” problems.

Outcome 2: Learn to communicate effectively with clients to gather the information needed to make the link between the research questions to be addressed and the statistical methods

Outcome 3: Research the application of statistical methodologies that are useful to clients and explain them to an audience of non-statisticians.
