Course objectives
The aim of the courses is to provide students with understandable and instructive lessons on mathematical-statistical methods and their application in psychology. Minimal mathematical apparatus is utilized; instead, the situations solved by the statistical methods and their conditions and considerations are described in detail. The subject matter of this introductory course are descriptive/exploratory methods and the introduction into inferential statistics.
