Learning unit contents
Part 1
The first part is devoted to statistical basics (descriptive statistics, 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 an example of the statistical inference concepts.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
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.
