  • Schließende Statistik (Inferential Statistics)

    0171cA1.6

    learning objectives:
    Students learn to make decisions based on statistical data and assess the quality of these decisions. They learn how to solve three central types of statistical problems: Estimating unknown parameters of a distribution (point estimation), determining the confidence interval for an unknown parameter (confidence interval), making statements about the equality or inequality of distributions (tests). Students learn to apply these techniques themselves using empirical data and with the help of computer technology. The diversity of perspectives, experiences, and skills that the students bring with them to the group is treated as a positive contribution to the quality of research they produce and entails great benefits.

    course content:
    Continuous distribution models, sampling functions, parameter estimation, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, regression analysis.
