Learning unit contents
This course consists of about ten theoretical lectures related to descriptive statistics. The graphical and numerical tools summarizing the information available in univariate data are first described. Elementary strategies enabling to quantify and to represent graphically the association between several variables are also studied. Finally, survey sampling is tackled with the main probabilist survey plans. Estimation of means and proportions are tackled in that framework.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
To understand and know how to use basic descriptive statistics tools, including the JASP software; To study the statistical bases of survey theory and to be able to estimate means and proportions within this framework.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Six practicals will be organized to help the students to solve the different types of exercises illustrating the theoretical lectures. For each session, training tests will be made available through the eCampus platform in addition to the exercises to be pepared.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
The theoretical lectures and the practicals will take place during the 1st quadrimester on a weekly basis.
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
Theoretical courses and practical work will take the form of podcasts accessible via eCampus. Other exercise statements will also be made available on eCampus with the final answers. Forums have been created on eCampus to allow students to ask their questions. Assistants can also be called upon to have a discussion on Lifesize if necessary. Face-to-face question-and-answer sessions will also be organized if sanitary conditions permit.
