This course give to students practical and theorical bases needed for three main purposes:
1. collection and description of experimental data - different scales variables
2. perform inferential statistics enphasizing the apllicability of methods to scientific experiments
3. interpretation of data, variability sources and statistical analyses
You will be asked to follow Lectures and in-Class practical exercices using PC (with specific softwares: excel and R)
EXPECTED RESULTS:
- Knowledge and understanding. Expected results: acquisition of basic concepts (desctiptive and inferential statistics).
- Applying Knowledge and Understanding. Expected results: ability to think a statistical approach for experimental data production, collection and analysis, using methods presented in class.
- Making judgement. Expected results: development of an autonomous thinking for the application of statistical analyses and critical results interpretation on biological ecperiments.
- Communication skills. Expected results: ability to comunicate (in oral or written form) the bases learnt in the classes and to discuss thir own, as well as other researchers statistical methods and resuts.
- Learning skills. Expeceted results: ability of learning and development of appropriate and speciefically targeted statistical analyses.
SCHEDULE:
1. Collection of experimental data - Descriptive statistics - Curves e Graphs for representing data
2. Inferential Statistics for group comparisons
3. Inferential Statistics for variables interactions (correlation/regression).
EXAM:
Practical exam (on PC): three exercices to be solved using the practical and theorical skills stiudied during the class; practical part of the exam will be mediated with an oral exam on practical problems presented. In case of Limitations related to the pandemic evolution, the written exam can be done online by using your own PC; the oral exam will be carried out via webex. Final result will be given in a 30/30 scale.
Help for students:
Schemes of principal concempts and discussions; reviews and schematic representation of basic concepts and problems
Book (NOT REQUIRED):
STATISTICA 2ND/ED- PEARSON. Paul Newbold - William L. Carlson - Betty Thorne ISBN 9788865185100
