Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
The course starts with basics of probability theory and statics. Afterwards fundamentals and applications of design of experiments will be taught. Next topics comprise different tools and methods for data analysis: cluster analysis, principal component analysis, and factor analysis.At the end Bayes networks are considered. This type of model allow to reconstruct networks for cellular systems based on experimental data.
Learning Outcome
After visiting the course the participants have understood basic concepts of probability theory and statistics, and their potential for applications for big data sets in microbiology. Based on these concepts, the students are able to set up simple models to describe cellular networks.
Preconditions
Prerequisite for a successful participation is basic mathematical knowledge that is taught at scientific university.

Learning and Teaching Methods
The matter of the course will be taught by sketches on the blackboard and with the help of PowerPoint presentations. Important topics will be recapitulated and will be deepened in exercises. The students get exercise problems that will be solved by the lecturer and will be discussed with the audience. This allows self-control of the students.
Media
Slides used during the lectures will be available for all students in time. Exercise problems will be provided regularly and sample solutions will be discussed with the students.
Literature
Books used for the lecture: Multivariate Analysemethoden v. Backhaus, Erichson, Plinke und Weber; Computational Statistics Handbook with MATLAB
Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
The exam will be in form of a 90 minutes written exam. No auxiliary means are allowed. It comprises short questions and calculation tasks. It will be check if the students have understood basic concepts of statistics and statistical modeling.
Exam Repetition
There is a possibility to take the exam in the following semester.
