Base Knowledge
This curricular unit requires a basic knowledge of statistics, corresponding to the Statistics curricular unit(s) of an undergraduate degree.
Teaching Methodologies
Theoretical-practical classes, as stipulated in the curriculum.
- Theoretical component: exposition of concepts and resolution of illustrative examples; questions to the students during the presentation.
- Practical component: resolution of illustrative and complementary practical exercises of the material exposed in theoretical classes, under the guidance of the teacher, but encouraging autonomous resolution (using statistical software).
Learning Results
This discipline aims to present a set of statistical techniques for analysing and interpreting data, using a statistical software.
Due to the inclusion of this discipline in an MSc course, it is intended that the students develop practical knowledge and skills in a statistical software to implement efficient analysis techniques to treat concrete problems.
