Statistical inference is the process of drawing conclusions about populations or scientific truths from data. There are many ways to make inferences, including statistical models, data-driven strategies, and explicit use of designs and randomization in analyses. Furthermore, there are extensive theories (frequent, Bayesian, probability, design-based, ...) and numerous complexities (missing data, observed and unobserved confounding, biases) to perform inference. A practitioner can often be left in a debilitating maze of techniques, philosophies, and nuances. This course introduces the fundamentals of inference in a practical approach to getting things done. After taking this course, students will understand the general directions of statistical inference and use this information to make informed decisions when analyzing data.
