Notice: Starting in spring 2016, the official class number is 220:222. Class 222 will be a required course for econ major and a prerequisite for econ 322 starting in fall 2016. Class 222 can also be used as a prerequisite for higher level quantitative class such as Applied Data Mining (220:422).
Foundations of Econometrics 222, Fall 2016
FE 222 is a computation oriented class where students learn modern statistical models using powerful software such as R and Stata. The contents of this class is simlar to the traditional mathematical statistics course. However, the focus is on the understanding of Probability Theory and Inferential Statistics using visualization and simulation methods. Starting in Fall 2016, the class integrates a wonderful learning web site DataCamp into the curriculum; in addition to learning from the class material, students have the opportunity to take courses to enhance their data analysis and programming skills in R and Python at DataCamp and earn certificates.
