Aim of the
course
The aim of this course is to introduce estimation of parameters as one of the basic statistical
analysis and introduction to statistical hypothesis testing.
Course
outcomes
Students will be able to prepare a descriptive indicators and to graphically display data. Students
will be able to perform point and interval estimations. Students will understand and know the
theory of estimation to assess the quality or derived estimations. They will master methods for
the estimation of parameters in simple models. Students will be able to perform simple statistical
hypothesis testing, and will understand the concept of power of statistical tests.
