Contents

The practical course is based on the statistics software ''R''. First, the functionalities of ''R'' are introduced. Subsequently, the theory is briefly introduced to the topics listed below. The methods introduced are investigated with ''R'' on the basis of simulations and applied to data sets.

Topics (only a selection is covered)

  • Basics in dealing with R
  • Random variables and their simulation
  • descriptive statistics and graphics
  • Point and interval estimation
  • Statistical hypothesis tests
  • Analysis of multivariate data
  • Linear Regression
  • Covariance and variance analysis
  • Generalized linear models

Qualification Goals

Students

  • are able to use the statistical software R,
  • can investigate statistical procedures using appropriate simulations,
  • can apply appropriate statistical procedures to given data sets and problems,
  • can write up results in an appropriate manner,
  • can solve tasks in an organized manner using teamwork.

Prerequisites

None. The competences taught in the following modules are recommended: Basic Linear Algebra, Basic Real Analysis, Introduction to Statistics.


Applicability

The module can be attended at FB12 in study program(s)

  • B.Sc. Computer Science
  • B.Sc. Business Informatics
