Statistical Exploration and Reasoning
Instructor: Mehul Rangwala
Course Description: Students use statistical reasoning and techniques to draw appropriate inferences regarding the meaning of data. Students learn to obtain preliminary insights and form initial hypotheses through exploratory data analysis (EDA). Topics include descriptive statistics, critical statistical thinking, sampling, probability, and basic statistical methods (e.g. OLS). The course also covers empirical strategies for applied micro-econometric research questions that include econometric applications of regressions and diff-in-diff. 

***While class visits are currently held in San Francisco, courses for students entering 2027 and beyond will be taught in Davis. A visit is still a great opportunity to experience the classroom environment and meet current students.
