STAT-5234: Experimental Design for Data Science

Description: Understanding data, data collection, and proper data analysis for knowledge discovery and decision-making. Randomization, replication, blocking, data quality evaluations (e.g., representativeness of training data), analysis quality assessment (e.g., robustness of the machine learning algorithm to representativeness of training data). Strengths and weaknesses of experimental designs for data science. Modern qualitative and quantitative techniques for constructing experimental designs and analyzing experimental data. Interpretation and reporting of results.
