Course objectives
At the end of this course, students should be able to:
* understand and be able to explain basic statistic characteristics;
* use testing of hypothesis at chosen cases;
* interpret result at real examples (comparing of two groups, finding and description of dependece, evaluation of statistical model;
* use multivariate statistics (Analysis of Variance, Factoral analysis, Multidimensional Regression)
Learning outcomes
Student will be able to:
- identify dependent and independent variables in research, characterize their properties (nominal, categorical, ordinal);
- compare parametric and nonparametric methods;
- describe the hypothesis testing process;
- identify the type of statistical procedure and decide on the used method (comparison of mean values, dependency analysis, classification and regression problem);
- interpret results as the most important part of statistical calculations;
- apply knowledge on data from your dissertation;
