Class Objectives
/Class Outline
This course is designed for understanding basic statistics and introducing data analytic skills with R for sustainable development studies, including urban and transportation planning, epidemiology, ecology, and climatology. After basic introductory classes on statistics with exercises, four case studies on different disciplines will follow, including advanced methods used in each research field.
