HIT 750 is an overview course introducing students to the essential concepts in data analytics. Rather than the details of the mathematical concepts, the course focuses on explaining the fundamental principles and ideas behind analyzing data and building predictive models. In addition, the course builds strength in application of the concepts by including many examples, classroom exercises, and assignments in R which has become the gold standard statistical environment in many scholarly and scientific communities.
