Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes	The aim of this course is the implementation of the statistical theory which was developed in "633-Statistical Inference" and "733-Regression and Analysis of Variance" in analyzing (statistical) data by using statistical packages (for instance JMP, SPSS, S-Plus). At the end of the course the student should be able to: enter data on the computer conduct descriptive statistical analysis that summarizes the available data perform basic data analysis (testing for outliers and normality, basic hypothesis testing with dependent and independent samples, one way anova) adjust linear models, mainly simple regression, controlling on whether the assumptions of the model are violated or not present and interpret the results of the above analysis.
General Competences	Working independently Decision-making Production of free, creative and inductive thinking Criticism and self-criticism.

Syllabus

The implementation of the statistical theory which was developed in "633-Statistical Inference" and "733-Regression and Analysis of Variance" in analyzing data using statistical packages (for instance JMP, SPSS, S-Plus) is the main aim of the course. In particular, the following subjects are discussed: testing hypotheses, simple and multiple linear regression analysis, one way and two way Anova (with and without interaction). The course is laboratorial.
