Introductory Statistics for Data Analysis

Education facts

Code: STGA16

The course covers different descriptive methods in statistics, both graphical and numerical, for one or several variables. An introduction to regression is included, as well as theoretical aspects on data collection and the considerations involved when a random selection is required in order to generalise results in relation to a population, and to understand the statistical uncertainty involved. Students also discuss and problematise how the critical application of different statistical methods depends on the context, and how different types of software can be used for statistical purposes.
