Elections with Statistics
Winter 2020
At its very basis, elections are statistical processes. People vote (or not) for specific parties or candidates. This is a multinomial process. Statisticians understand such processes clearly. The complexity arises from trying to model the individual probabilities.
This course examines electoral systems, polls, predictions, and unfairness in elections… all from a statistical standpoint. While this may seem overly simplistic to some (rightly so), it creates the necessary basis for further examinations of elections, writ large.
