Statistical Analysis

Objectives

This curricular unit aims at supplying to the students the theoretical and practical knowledge about methodologies on parametric and nonparametric statistical inference. Students will explore the core principles of statistics, from both the conceptual and applied perspectives. The students will acquire competences related to random variables, estimators, sampling distributions, point and interval estimation and hypothesis testing. Additionally, some issues of asymptotic distributions are addressed. Moreover, the analysis of variance is introduced, as well as several nonparametric statistical tests. The students will clearly understand the conditions of applicability of each procedure. The concepts and principles will be illustrated using real-world concepts applicable to many industries, including medical, business, sports, insurance, etc.
