Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the basics of statistical analysis and essence of the methods of statistical data analysis. The main emphasis is on the issue of the use of traditional and non-parametric methods, their application and practical use. In this course, students will learn rigorous process and evaluate their experimental data. Students will be able to choose appropriate statistical methods, apply them to real data, evaluate and interpret results. An important part of the course is also to familiarize students how to work with statistical software.

Summary

The course deals with statistical analysis of experimental data and subsequent interpretations of the results. It provides basic information about the purpose, instruments and methods of statistical analysis. Introduces basic statistical terms, characteristics and relations between them and defines the methods of calculation. An emphasis is placed on the correct choice of methods for evaluating various types of experimental data and interpret results for use in practice. An integral part of the course is also a practical application of methods to real data in software environment for statistical computing (according to the current state of scientific field, for example - Statgraphics, SPSS, SAS, etc.), or in a spreadsheet, during exercises in the computer lab.
