Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:
none, but the successful completed previous courses are recommended
Inhalt:
Students prepare a data mining project, either integrated into current research at the Section Palaeobiology, or proposed on their own and consulted with teachers. The results are delivered in the form of an oral presentation. The data mining is based on biological or palaeontological repositories (Paleobiology Database, PaleoReefs Database and others) complemented, when necessary, with literature mining. Students formulate research questions through discussion with all lecturers (and other scientific staff involved in respective projects) and identify the type of data, temporal resolution,
and taxonomic level necessary to address the question. They perform data cleaning and statistical analyses independently.
Lernziele und Kompetenzen:
The students are able to:
formulate larger research questions and specific hypotheses, which can be addressed and tested through data mining and analysis
identify appropriate statistical analysis and required data (sample size, geographical and stratigraphic range, taxonomic level and stratigraphic resolution)
handle data repositories and clean up the data
perform statistical analyses and code in a way that is accessible to another scientist
Literatur:
To be identified by the student, based on suggestions from lecturers or own initiative.
Bemerkung:
Students majoring in Palaeobiology-Palaeoenvironments
