Title Data Science in Psychology
Description The course is particularly suited to master students in psychology with an interest in modern, computer-based methods in psychology. In the course an overview over data science methods will be provided and the relation between machine learning and classical statistics will be clarified. The course will cover both so-called "supervised methods" like support vector machines (SVMs) and deep neural networks (DNNs) as well as "unsupervised methods" like k-means clustering. In addition it covers the fundamental differences between "frequentist" and "Bayesian" statistics, and it will explain the use of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods in Bayesian statistics. All methods and algorithms will be related to psychological theories and experiments. Some algorithms may be demonstrated using MATLAB; however, the course can be taken without any knowledge of MATLAB.
