Learning Objectives

  • Statistical Methods for Data Analysis. - STATISTICAL MEASURES
    The course aims to provide knowledge of the tools and techniques for the statistical analysis of the observed phenomena.
    The lessons will be aimed at acquiring a methodological and technical baggage that will allow the management, organization, processing and analysis of a database according to the monovariate data analysis.

  • Statistical Methods for Data Analysis. - BIVARIATE STATISTICAL MEASURES
    Methodological and technical knowledge of the tools for the analysis of the relationships between two variables.

    Learning the logical-methodological abilities for the application of the concept of probability to statistical inference.
  • INFERENTIAL STATISTICAL MEASURES
    Methodological and technical knowledge of the tools employed for the estimation and hypothesis tests about the parameters of one or two populations.

    Knowledge and learning of the techniques as tools of experimental investigation, oriented to solving research problems.
