Statistics

With the rise of easy data access and the reduced cost of computing, everyone can obtain data and report "stats." But to make sense of the numbers one needs to follow solid statistical methods and practices. ILR is a partner in Cornell's Department of Statistics and Data Science, which offers courses in statistics, application of statistical methods, and supervision for students across Cornell University. Our courses range from introductory statistics to advanced statistical techniques that train students in proper methods.
