These are notes for a short course given by Aaron King as part of the Summer College of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics. They draw in large part on the notes for the SISMID course. From the main page, links lead to pages on a number of specific topics, culminating in four case studies that exemplify the methods and raise key issues. For each such page, there is a corresponding R script, which contains the codes needed to recapitulate the calculations. This script is a starting point for students to follow, explore, and modify the analysis according to their own curiosity and interest.
