Introduction to language assessment practices including test design, construction, scoring, analysis and reporting; introduction to measurement concepts and basic statistics; and use of SPSS.
To make time for the additional numbers, the new standards drop rudimentary introductions to concepts in algebra and statistics.
The micromodels, on the other hand, are based on the concepts of micromechanics and statistics applied to the study of the microstructure of the material.
Specific topics include basic concepts in probability and statistics, spatial statistics (geostatistics and machine learning), Monte Carlo simulations, global and local sensitivity analyses, surrogate models, and computational alternatives to Monte Carlo simulations (e.g., quasi-MC, moment equations, the method of distributions, polynomial chaos expansions).
"We want our students to really dig into data science to learn to define problems, determine what data they need to answer questions, explore and visualize the data using concepts from probability and statistics," Tantum says.
Combining methods from algebraic geometry/polynomial algebra with concepts from probability and statistics is the province of algebraic statistics.
Fundamental concepts from probability and statistics form the mathematical core of this module on DNA and the genetic code, codon usage, codon usage bias, and related concepts.
