Course contents :
|
|
 | | Part 1 |
|
| The first part is devoted tto statistical basics (descriptive statistices, probabilities). Next, experimental and theoretical distributions are introduced (binomial, hypergeometric, Poisson, Gauss-Laplace, chi-square). Probabilistic aspects of hypotheses testing (type I error, type II error, power) are described, and contingency tables are used as a useful example of the statistical inference concepts.
The second part of the course studies means comparisons (z-test, t-test, ANOVA) and linear regression. |

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
|
| | Part 1 |
|
| The main goal of this course is to help the students to have a statistical view of the problems they will face for their final year subject, and also in their future work. For that reason, the course is not formula or computations oriented, but more aimed at statistical reasoning, and problem solving. |
