S.Y B. Tech. Semester: III
Honors in Data Science
Course Code: DJS23CCH1301
Course: Statistics for Data Science

Pre-requisite: Knowledge of
1. Basics of probability

Objectives:
1. To provide students with a solid understanding of statistical concepts and techniques
essential for data science.
2. To develop students' ability to apply statistical methods to real-world data sets and
draw meaningful insights.
3. To equip students with the skills to use statistical software tools for data analysis and
interpretation.
4. To foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills in the context of statistical
analysis for data science.
Outcomes: On completion of the course, the learner will be able to:
1. Describe and summarize data using appropriate statistical measures.
2. Apply correlation analysis and regression to real-world problems.
3. Apply regression techniques to model and forecast time series data.
4. Apply nonparametric test and draw appropriate conclusions for data analysis.
