Prerequisites
BKM_APS1 Applied Statistics 1
The basic terms in calculus of probability. To enrol in a course basic computer skills are needed. Basic knowledge of the R programming language, which will be used in the course, is an advantage. The recommended prerequisite is studying the course BKM_UVOR Introduction to R.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.

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

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.
