The aim of the course is to give students an introduction to statistical inference and techniques. These techniques
are crucial to those who want to understand empirical research in sociology, political science and
economics, but also for those who are seeking to have a role in public policy. Some of what we will see will
be useful for more advanced courses (in econometrics for instance) further down the line.
