The course covers treatment of the models and practices of experimental computer science and review of tools for applied science in general. The first half of the couse will introduce some elementary methods for statistical analysis of low dimensional (1D-2D) data, hypothesis testing, uses of analytic and simulation models, design of performance and quality metrics and interpretation and presentation of experimental results. In the second half we will use mathematical framework of linear algebra to discuss tools for data fitting, singular value decomposition, dimensionality reduction and pattern recognition, which are critical components for analyzing and statistically characterizing higher dimensional data.
