|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SIC5028 | Machine Learning with Python | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | Convergence for Social Innovation | Korean | Yes | |
| This course aims that students implement machine learning algorithms with Python programming. In the beginning of this course, students will learn the basics about Python programming. In the latter part, students will implement various machine learning algorithms such as supervised and unsupervised learning with Python so that they could exactly understand the algorithms. | |||||||||

| SIC5034 | Hierarchical Linear Modeling | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 2-8 | Convergence for Social Innovation | English | Yes |
| The purpose of this course is to develop the skills necessary to identify an appropriate technique, estimate models, and interpret results for independent research and to critically evaluate contemporary social research using hierarchical linear modeling. Social research focuses on issues that examine the relationship between individuals and the social contexts in which they work, live, or learn. This involves multilevel research, which investigates individuals within groups. In multilevel research, the nature of the data structure is hierarchical. For example, in educational research, the data typically consists of schools and pupils within these schools. In this example, pupils are nested within schools. When analyzing multilevel data, we need special statistical skills and techniques, because single-level analysis of multilevel data brings about misleading standard errors and significance tests. The hiearchical linear modeling addresses this issue, accurately dealing with a hierarchical data set, often individuals within groups. This course will be applied in the sense that we will focus on estimating models and interpreting the results, rather than understanding in detail the mathematics behind the techniques. | |||||||||
| SIC5035 | Multivariate Regression Analysis | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-8 | Convergence for Social Innovation | Korean | Yes |
| Introduction to data analysis via linear models. Topics include basic assumptions of the linear model, methods for transforming data, estimation and interpretation of the classical linear model, derivations of the estimators of interest, and diagnostics of results and/or potential fixes for violations of assumptions. This course lays the foundations for more advanced statistical modeling techniques used in data science and academic research. | |||||||||
| SIC5038 | Longitudinal Categorical Data Analysis | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-8 | Convergence for Social Innovation | Korean | Yes |
| This course will cover the foundations of longitudinal categorical data. Upon successful completing of this course, students will be able to (a) understand the types of hypotheses and research questions for which categorical data analytical produces are used, (b) perform number of cross sectional and longitudinal analytical procedures including regression with binary, ordinal, and multinomial outcomes, survival analysis, (first- and second-order) growth curve modeling with categorical data, and (c) read and evaluate research articles regarding testing of for which cross-sectional and longitudinal categorical data analytcial procedures are used. The course topics are as follows: Review of basic regression model. Introduction to Logistic and Profit Regression. Introduction to Count Data. Introduction to Latent Growth Model. Latent Class (Transition) Model. Growth Mixture Model with categorical data. Introduction to Survival Analysis. | |||||||||

| This class provides the Graduate-level, social-science majoring students with a variety of Elementary and Intermediate levels of statistics, besides Advanced statistics, which include descriptive and a variety of inferential statistics (e.g., z-test, t-test, χ2-test, F-test, Simple Regression, Multiple Regression, Logistic Regression, etc.). | |||||||||
| SOC5062 | Factor Analysis / Covariance Structure Analysis | 3 | 9 | Major | Master/Doctor | Sociology | - | No | |
| This class provides the Graduate-level, social-science majoring students with a variety of Advanced Statistics (besides Elementary & Intermediate Statistics), which includes, most importantly, Factor Analysis (EFA & CFA) and Covariance Structure Analysis. | |||||||||
