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	statistical model development,
2	multinomial regression estimation with examining various properties,
3	cross-sectional and panel data analysis,
4	ordinary least squares and maximum likelihood estimation,
5	time series analysis,
6	cluster analysis,
7	simultaneous model estimation techniques,
8	discrete choice models

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.
