Summary
This is an introductory course in statistics. The course will emphasize methods of applied statistics and data analysis. Theoretical considerations will be included to the extent that knowledge of theory is necessary for a sound understanding of methods and contributes to the development of data analysis skills and the ability to interpret results of statistical analysis. The objective of the course is to develop sufficient knowledge of statistical tools and procedures, understanding of the underlying theory on which the procedures are based, and facility in the application of statistical tools to enable the student to incorporate sound statistical methodology into other areas of his or her own work.

Way of continuous check of knowledge in the course of semester
Presence form:
Discussions:
- 10 short tests during the semester per 2 points, 20 points overall (minimum required: 6 points)
- 4 homeworks per 5 points, 20 points overall (minimum required: 5 points for each task)
- written test (practical part: max. 50 points, required minimum: 25 points, theoretical part: max. 10 points, required minimum: 2 points)
For successful completion of the Subject is given credit. Students will receive credit if they meet the required minimum of each of the sub-tasks and compensatory gain at least 51 points.
