Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
- statistical models, estimators, statistical tests.
- introduction to R, transformation and visualisation of data in R, illustration of probabilistic concepts in R, implementation and practical comparison of statistical methods in R, communication of results of data analysis using R.
Learning Outcome

- discuss and prove connections between these concepts and illustrate them with examples; solve problems using these concepts and the methods covered in the class
- model simple random experiments and statistical methods and implement them in a computer program
- interpret statistical data and methods, visualize data, and assess the meaning of random experiments
Preconditions
