Course objectives
The main objective of the course is to apply knowledge of mathematics, statistics and related sciences to concrete mathematical-statistical models. The cardinal part of the course is a section dealing with the quantitative description of some processes and dependences. The course focuses on an introduction to the study of regression and correlation analysis with an emphasis placed on linear regression. To explore the chronologically observed indicators, the course also presents an introduction to the study of time series and comparative indices. All these sections are illustrated with examples using particular statistical indicators of the Czech Republic economic development. Students are taught to solve given types of tasks independently at seminars. The knowledge gained in the course is also practiced in the spreadsheet environment.
