Day 1 of 2


Importing and Organizing Data

Objective: Bring data into MATLAB and organize it for analysis. Perform common tasks, such as merging data and dealing with missing data.

  • Importing data
  • Data types
  • Tables of data
  • Merging data
  • Categorical data
  • Missing data

Exploring Data

Objective: Perform descriptive statistics on a data set, including visualization and calculation of summary statistics.

  • Visualizing data
  • Calculating parameters of location, spread, and shape
  • Computing correlation coefficients
  • Perform calculations with grouped data

Distributions

Objective: Investigate different probability distributions and fit distributions to a data set. Use random numbers to evaluate the uncertainty or sensitivity of a model, or perform simulations. Generate random numbers from various distributions, and manage the MATLAB random number generation algorithms.

  • Probability distributions and their parameters
  • Comparing and fitting distributions
  • Fitting nonparametric distributions
  • Bootstrapping and simulation
  • Generating random numbers from arbitrary distributions
  • Controlling the random number stream

Day 2 of 2


Hypothesis Tests

Objective: Determine if a data set sufficiently supports a particular hypothesis. Apply hypothesis tests for common uses, such as comparing the location and spread parameters of two distributions.

  • Confirmatory data analysis
  • Hypothesis tests for normal distributions
  • Hypothesis tests for nonnormal distributions

Analysis of Variance

Objective: Compare the sample means of multiple groups and find statistically significant differences between groups.

  • Performing Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
  • Computing corrections for multiple comparisons
  • Performing N-way ANOVA and Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA)
  • ANOVA for non-normal data
  • Independence tests for categorical data

Regression

Objective: Perform predictive modeling by fitting linear and nonlinear models to a data set. Explore techniques for improving model quality. Simplify high-dimensional data sets by reducing the dimensionality.

  • Linear regression models
  • Fitting linear models to data
  • Evaluating the fit and adjusting the model
  • Logistic and generalized linear regression
  • Nonlinear regression
  • Feature selection and transformation
