Hello and welcome to the course website for PAI 721, “Introduction to Statistics.” I am your instructor, Professor Jack Reilly. You can find more about me on my website, but in short:

Statistics and data analysis is honestly one of my favorite things to teach. I’ve been teaching them for over 15 years now, at multiple different institutions, and I’m very much looking forward to doing so again this semester with you all.
I also research and write papers on American politics and quantitative methods and was born and raised right here in beautiful Upstate New York.

Please take a minute to browse this website, where you’ll find the course overview, topic schedule, class and university academic policies, and more.
