This course uses microdata from complex surveys (e.g., the Current Population Survey) and hypothetical data with Monte Carlo simulation to explain regression analysis, interpret results, and answer research questions with data. Special emphasis is placed on understanding sampling variability and the standard error. Excel is used at an advanced level and combined with other statistical software such as Stata or R. Prerequisite: Elementary statistics (such as ECON 350, BIO 275, MATH 141, MATH 247 or PSY 214) or consent of the instructor.
