Phys 114 - Introduction to Data Reduction with Applications (3-0-3)
An introduction to both the theory and application of error analysis and data reduction methodology. Topics include the binomial distribution and its simplification to Gaussian and Poisson probability distribution functions, estimation of moments, and propagation of uncertainty. Forward modeling, including least-squares fitting of linear and polynomial functions, is discussed. The course enables students to apply the concepts of data reduction and error analysis using data analysis software applied to real data sets found in the physical sciences.
