Course Objective

The objective is to provide students with a generic background in the application of various statistical and econometric analysis techniques and to provide new ideas for analyzing data in research. The course will present a number of model-estimation methods that are used in transportation data analysis and other subject areas that deal with data analysis.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1	Understanding of fundamentals of transport economics
2	Estimation of regression models
3	Utilizing tests and model selection criteria of econometric models
4	Detecting and removing of issues such as multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation
5	Understanding of main and alternative model estimation techniques
6	Utilization of econometric model development softwares

Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

A number of applications and methods will be presented in the class that have broad applications to a variety of data-analysis in transportation engineering and beyond. The material covered goes well beyond the techniques typically covered in statistics courses. While, the course will emphasize model estimation and application, the underlying theory and limitations will be discussed to ensure that the methods are properly applied and understood. The students will be able to apply the concepts learned in the class using real world data and will also learn econometric model development in softwares such as R, Matlab, Stata, Biogeme, Eviews, Limdep and SPSS.
