Title ENGINEERING DATA ANALYSIS

This course introduces different methods of data collection and the

suitability of using a particular method for a given situation. It includes
a coverage and discussion of the relationship of probability to
statistics, probability distributions of random variables and their uses,
linear functions of random variables within the context of their
application to data analysis and inference, estimation techniques for
Description
unknown parameters, and hypothesis testing used in making
inferences from sample to population, inference for regression
parameters and build models for estimating means and predicting
future values of key variables under study. Statistically based
experimental design techniques and analysis of outcomes of
experiments are discussed with the aid of statistical software.
