DSCI 330. Cognition and Computation. 3 Units.

An introduction to (1) theories of the relationship between cognition and computation; (2) computational models of human cognition (e.g. models of decision-making or concept creation); and (3) computational tools for the study of human cognition. All three dimensions involve data science: theories are tested against archives of brain imaging data; models are derived from and tested against datasets of e.g., financial decisions (markets), legal rulings and findings (juries, judges, courts), legislative actions, and healthcare decisions; computational tools aggregate data and operate upon it analytically, for search, recognition, tagging, machine learning, statistical description, and hypothesis testing. Offered as COGS 330, COGS 430, DSCI 330 and DSCI 430.

DSCI 332. Spatial Statistics for Near Surface, Surface, and Subsurface Modeling. 3 Units.

This course is on spatial modeling of near surface, surface, and subsurface data, also known as geostatistical modeling. Spatial modeling has its origins in predictive modeling of minerals in subsurface formations, from which many examples are used in this class. Students will learn the basics of spatial models in order to understand how they are built from various data types and how their uncertainties are assessed and risk reduced. Students will be expected to learn the rudimentary navigation of R Studio, execute pre-written publically available R code (provided), and make simple modifications. Graduate students will be expected to learn the above and develop a 10 week modeling project focused on the use of spatial modeling methods with R using data relevant to their specific discipline or interest. These projects will include preparing datasets to be executed in R code scripts. Resulting scripts will be placed in a git repository for use by other students as open source resources along with documentation demonstrating the reproducible spatial modeling science and analyses for these problems. Geostatistical (spatial) mapping is applicable across many disciplines. Examples of graduate projects from previous classes include subsurface modeling (geology), earthquake mapping (geophysics/civil engineering), soil stability modeling (civil engineering), aquifer characterization (hydrology), and pollution/contaminant mapping (environmental studies/medicine). Offered as DSCI 332 and DSCI 432.

DSCI 351. Exploratory Data Science. 3 Units.

In this course, we will learn data science and analysis approaches to identify statistically significance relationships and better model and predict the behavior of these systems. We will assemble and explore real-world datasets, perform clustering and pair plot analyses to investigate correlations, and logistic regression will be employed to develop associated predictive models. Results will be interpreted, visualized and discussed. We will introduce basic elements of statistical analysis using R Project open source software for exploratory data analysis and model development. R is an open-source software project with broad abilities to access machine-readable open-data resources, data cleaning and munging functions, and a rich selection of statistical packages, used for data analytics, model development and prediction. This will include an introduction to R data types, reading and writing data, looping, plotting and regular expressions, so that one can start performing variable transformations for linear fitting and developing structural equation models, while exploring for statistically significant relationships.
