Learning unit contents
This course is subdivided in two parts. In the first part, we start by giving an introduction to descriptive statistical methods which permit to summarize a data set either graphically or numerically. Then we turn to inferential statistics, the basis of scientific reasoning, which consist in making conclusions on a population from a random sample drawn from it. The second part of the course tackles more advanced statistical methods, like linear regression, one-way analysis of variance, survival analysis, contingency tables and non-parametric techniques. During practical sessions, the student will be trained in the treatment of data applications encountered in practice.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The course is intended to get students familiar with statistical problems and data analysis. Emphasis is placed on the scientific reasoning rather than on the mathematical aspects of statistics or the formula to use. Students should have a sufficiently solid knowledge in statistics for the years ahead, and in particular for the thesis they have to write at the end of their curriculum.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
The mathematical training received in bachelor years is sufficient to take the course. As already mentioned, emphasis is placed the potential of statistical methods in experimental design and scientific research.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Training exams will be available on eCampus.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
The lectures take place in the first quadrimester.
Hybrid learning.
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context

Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Any session :
- In-person
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire )
- Remote
written exam
- If evaluation in "hybrid"
preferred remote
Additional information:
A written exam online with ecampus will take place in January. It lasts for about 1 hours.
