  • Schließende Statistik (Inferential Statistics)

    0171cA1.6

    learning objectives:
     Students learn to make decisions based on statistical data and assess the quality of these decisions.

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.

  • Stichprobenverfahren (Sampling Procedure)

    0171cB2.5

    learning objectives:
     Students gain an introduction into the field of survey statistics and learn the basic methods of sampling theory. They also learn about the most important sampling techniques and how to use them. In addition, they use example cases to learn how to deal with nonreponse and how to use calibration methods. In the tutorial section, students learn how statistics software can be used to draw samples, for example, from the Campus-Files from the Federal Statistical Office. They also learn the relevant methods and are thus able to assess critically the practical implementations of sampling procedures. Moreover, they learn to explain and evaluate survey data generated through polling. The module takes into consideration gender and diversity to establish conditions that make it possible for all students to participate.

    course content:
     Population and sampling probabilities, Simple random sampling, Stratified sampling, Cluster sampling, Two-stage (multi-stage) sampling, Selection schemes with unequal probabilities, Regression estimation
