Course objectives
At the end of the course students should be able to:
- understand and explain the basics of statistical inference;
- use the basic testing procedures;
- operate the statistical software.
Learning outcomes
After graduation of the course student should be able to:
- distinguish between sample and population and properly interpret principles of inferential statistics
- determine statistical methods appropriate for particular application context
- solve tasks based on real data by means of software environment R
- interpret properly outputs of analyses
Syllabus

Teaching methods
Practically oriented tutorials with an emphasis on the active students' approach.
Individual study of recommended literature, autokorection tests, individual work on assigned tasks.
Assessment methods
To complete the course, the elaboration and defence of a semestral project are needed. In evaluation, the emphasis is placed on appropriate methods selection and performance, correct interpretation and presentation of results.
The course is completed by written exam consisting of theoretical and practical parts.
Language of instruction
Czech
