Course Objectives
How do we make sense of the abundance of readily accessible but often overwhelming quantitative information encountered at work? How do we systematically extract insights from data? What does it mean to reason with data? Quantitative data reasoning can be thought of as applying a certain set of logic that allows us to work with data. In applying this logic, we make use of statistical methods and other forms of numerical analysis to answer questions that we are invested in, support or invalidate preconceived hypotheses, and provide evidence to advance our arguments. The course’s primary objective, therefore, is to develop the relevant skills that will allow us to apply this logic, so that we may effectively utilize data as a valuable resource to help inform and guide decision-making.
The course aims to impart quantitative data reasoning skills. These skills broadly encompass the ability to ask good questions; curate and organize datasets; visualize data; perform mathematical processing; carry out an analysis (e.g., using models) with clear assumptions; and to communicate the results effectively.
At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
