Posted: 12/12/2017 ()
CSDE 502 is a “how to” course that teaches skills for working with data. It is meant to fill a perceived curriculum gap between methods courses that emphasize study design, and statistics courses that teach statistical analysis. The course is useful for students about to embark on their first independent research project, as well as for those starting to work on a research team with other students or faculty. It focuses on applied methods for data preparation and will introduce the following topics: data management and documentation, data cleaning and variable creation, working with demographic data, and reproducibility.
