Week 1 lecture slides can be found here Chapter 1/Introduction into the Scientific Method!

Please read the complete pdf file as soon as possible. This chapter provides an introduction to the “proper” scientific statistical analysis and important conceptual settings that need to be kept in mind throughout the quarter. There is no homework assignment in this chapter — this is just an introductory class to keep everybody on the same page.

Take home message is: “Proper scientific method is important and makes a huge difference for scientific and actionable findings (causal findings)”. This is not the class on data cleaning, mining or application os neural nets/deep learning.
