- Title:
- Methods of Data Analysis I
- Credits: 5
- Prerequisites
- To successfully follow this lecture basic knowledge of Python is advantageous.
Alternatively, participants should be willing to learn how to program alongside this class.
It is recommended to first complete: Datenverarbeitung in der Physik (DV)
- Contents
- The lectures provide an overview of the most important methods for the statistical evaluation of the measured data.
It lays the foundation for bachelor and master theses in experimental physics, which require the analysis of data.
In the first part of the lectures we will deal with the basics of statistics and probability theory.
The second part of the lectures provides an introduction to measurement error and error calculation, parameter estimates and confidence intervals.
For some of the exercises we will use the computer (programming in Python) and provide practical examples preparing towards Bachelor and/or Master Theses.
The topics will include:
Part I. Probability and statistics
Introduction to statistics and probability theory
Special distributions: Gaussian, Poisson, Binomial, ...
Parameter estimators of the distribution (mean, variance, bias etc.)
Multi-dimensional distributions
Random sampling, Monte Carlo programs
Part II. Statistical interpretation of measurements
Least squared method, Chi2 fitting
Maximal likelihood
Bayesian statistics
Estimation of confidence intervals
Binned and unbinned analysis
