SOAN 2009 - Data Science Tools for Social Policy

Prerequisite: SOAN 1101 or instructor consent.
FDR: Science, Math, Computer Science (SC)
Credits: 3

Students learn about how we think about and estimate causal effects, and practice important contemporary techniques with real data, culminating in reports analyzing the effects of a policy intervention of their choice. All work will be done in R. No previous experience with R is required, but some basic previous exposure to linear regression will be helpful.
