Embark on a comprehensive statistical journey through this extensive lecture series spanning over 25 hours. Delve into advanced statistical concepts, starting with the foundational "Golem of Prague" and progressing through diverse topics such as forking data, geocentric models, categories and curves, confounds, and controls. Master Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques, explore event modeling, and tackle hidden confounds in count data. Advance to multilevel models, correlated features, and social network analysis. Gain insights into Gaussian processes, measurement issues, missing data handling, and generalized linear models. Conclude with a unique perspective on statistical applications in unexpected areas, challenging conventional thinking about data analysis and interpretation.
