Lectures:

Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:

Mathematical and statistical background as taught in the BSc program Integrated Life Sciences is recommended.

Inhalt:

  • introduction to the statistical software R and elementary programming

  • descriptive statistics: visualisation und parameters of categorial and metric data, qqplots, curve fitting, log- and loglog-plots, robust techniques

  • inferential statistics: methods for estimating and testing: parametric tests, selected non-parametric tests, exact and asymptotic confidence regions

  • simulation: random numbers, Monte Carlo

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

The students are able to

  • describe and explain standard techniques in descriptive and inferential statistics.

  • explain their solution of a non-trivial statistical problem to other people and to discuss alternative solutions within a group.

  • perform statistical standard analyses within a prescribed time limit on the computer, and to correctly interpret the computer output.

  • perform elementary statistical simulations.

  • formulate adaequate questions concerning a given data set, suggest correct methods for analysis, and to implement these on the computer.
