Our Teaching Methodology

Stat Labow courses follow a structured learning progression that builds statistical competence systematically. Each course combines three essential elements: conceptual understanding of statistical principles, practical application through coding and analysis, and effective communication of results.

Sessions alternate between lectures introducing new concepts and lab work where students apply those concepts to real datasets. Instructors demonstrate analyses step-by-step, then students work through similar problems independently with guidance available. This immediate application reinforces learning and reveals areas needing additional explanation.

Homework assignments extend classroom work with more complex scenarios. Students analyze new datasets, interpret results, and document their approaches. Instructors provide detailed feedback on both technical execution and statistical reasoning. This iterative process develops the ability to conduct analyses independently.

Final projects simulate professional statistical consulting. Students receive a research question and dataset, conduct appropriate analyses, and present findings to the class. This integrated assessment evaluates whether students can select methods appropriately, implement them correctly, and communicate results clearly to non-technical audiences.

Course Offerings

Applied Statistical Methods

Applied Statistical Methods

SGD 820

Master practical statistical techniques for real-world data analysis including parametric and non-parametric methods. This comprehensive course covers ANOVA, regression analysis, and multivariate statistics for complex datasets. Students learn experimental design, power analysis, and sample size determination for research studies. The curriculum emphasizes assumption checking, data transformation, and robust statistical methods for violated assumptions. Participants analyze clinical trials, survey data, and observational studies using R and SPSS. Research projects involve publishing-quality statistical analyses with proper interpretation and visualization.

What You Will Learn

  • One-way and factorial ANOVA designs
  • Multiple linear regression modeling
  • Logistic regression for binary outcomes
  • Non-parametric alternatives (Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney)
  • Power analysis and sample size calculation
  • Multivariate techniques (PCA, factor analysis)

Bayesian Statistics and Inference

Bayesian Statistics and Inference

SGD 2,340

Apply Bayesian reasoning for statistical inference incorporating prior knowledge and uncertainty quantification in analyses. This advanced course covers prior selection, MCMC methods, and hierarchical Bayesian models for complex problems. Students implement Bayesian analyses using Stan, JAGS, and PyMC3 for various application domains. The curriculum explores Bayesian model selection, posterior predictive checks, and decision theory for optimal choices. Participants develop Bayesian solutions for A/B testing, clinical trials, and environmental modeling applications. Computational topics include efficient sampling algorithms and convergence diagnostics.

What You Will Learn

  • Bayesian inference foundations and philosophy
  • Prior distribution selection and specification
  • MCMC algorithms (Metropolis-Hastings, Gibbs)
  • Hierarchical and multilevel models
  • Model comparison and Bayes factors
  • Bayesian decision theory applications

Statistical Consulting and Communication

Statistical Consulting and Communication

SGD 3,470

Develop consulting skills for translating business problems into statistical analyses and communicating results effectively. This practical course covers client management, project scoping, and statistical report writing for diverse audiences. Students learn visualization best practices, presentation techniques, and explaining complex statistics to non-technical stakeholders. The curriculum addresses ethical considerations, reproducible research practices, and statistical software selection for organizations. Participants complete consulting projects, develop statistical workflows, and create automated reporting systems. Professional skills include proposal writing and statistical expert witness preparation.

What You Will Learn

Choosing the Right Course

Start with Applied Methods if:

  • You have basic statistics knowledge but limited practical experience
  • You want broad coverage of commonly-used methods
  • Your work involves experimental or survey data

Choose Bayesian Statistics if:

  • You have solid statistical foundations and R skills
  • You want to incorporate prior information in analyses
  • Your work involves complex hierarchical data

Take Consulting if:

  • You have statistical training but want to improve professional skills
  • You work directly with clients or stakeholders
  • You want to develop a statistical consulting practice

Technical Standards Across All Courses

Reproducible Analysis Practices

All courses emphasize reproducible workflows using version control, documented code, and literate programming. Students learn to organize projects, write clear code comments, and generate reports that others can verify and extend.

Data Quality and Preparation

We cover data cleaning, handling missing values, outlier detection, and data transformation. Students learn to document data preparation steps and assess whether data quality supports intended analyses.

Assumption Checking and Diagnostics

Every statistical method makes assumptions about data. Courses teach systematic approaches to checking assumptions, interpreting diagnostic plots, and selecting appropriate alternatives when assumptions are violated.

Statistical Ethics and Integrity

We address ethical issues including data privacy, multiple testing, selective reporting, and appropriate interpretation. Students learn professional standards for statistical practice and their responsibilities as analysts.
