Data Science of Randomness: CIS 5930/CIS 4930

Purpose of the Course:

Randomness is an important idea that in its computational form plays a major role in games of chance, numerical simulation, Monte Carlo computations, among many others.
This course will introduce mathematical and statistical randomness in terms of:

Random numbers generated by computation and their mathematical abstractions.
Random or stochastic processes defined mathematically by concepts from probability and statistics.

The course will then introduce various techniques of data analysis of large data sets from both the fields of data science and artificial intelligence. These techniques will then be used to analyze random data sets created above to assess their purported randomness. This will create the basis for extending the computational and analytic tools to the study and measurement of randomness.
