Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
In this course, the classical methods of inferential statistics will be reviewed and further developped, with the theory of hypothesis testing detailed. Then, an introduction to some techniques used in multivariate statistics will be presented (i.e. Principal Component Analysis and clustering).
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
After this course, the students should be able to take decisions based on the result of statistical testing. Moreover, they should have acquired the basic approach of high dimensional data analysis.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Probability and some elements of inferential statistics (estimation).
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course consists of ex-cathedra lectures on the theory. Exercises and data analyses on statistical softwares will be suggested and discussed during the sessions. Personal work (for ex: first manipulaitons of the softwares) completes the learning.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Blended learning
Additional information:
The official timetable available in Celcat details the orgnanization.

Exam(s) in session
Any session
- In-person
written exam ( open-ended questions )
Additional information:
The final mark is a weighted mean of the marks attributed to the two following assesments:
- written exam on theory and exercises (without access to personnal notes nor usage of software)
- written exam in the computer room for a data analysis
A grade inferior to 6/20 in any of the parts will automatically lead to a failed mark for the course.
