Description
This course covers inferential statistics, estimation, and hypothesis testing. The emphasis in the course is on the presentation of statistical methods and on the interpretation of the outcome. This course considers inferential statistics: point estimation, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing. The inference is applied to single measurements and is used to investigate the relations between measurements. The R system for data analysis is used as part of the teaching. The philosophy and practice of statistics, and not its mathematics, is at the center; needed mathematical computations are demonstrated via simulations rather than by abstract proofs.
