Class Introduction

You will learn how to use large-scale geospatial data such as satellite data to discover social issues and analyze their structures. Based on an understanding of statistical methods and computational environments, we develop the ability to grasp relationships between real data, regional differences, and spatiotemporal fluctuations. You will acquire large-scale data analysis skills that can be directly applied to social issue analysis and future prediction.

You will carefully learn the basic concepts necessary for analyzing quantitative social survey data from the very beginning. By understanding the relationship between social surveys and inferential statistics, and learning and practicing procedures for statistical estimation and statistical testing, students will enhance their ability to analyze survey data.
