Learning Outcomes
The course aims to introduce students to the basic principles of the field of Statistics, by emphasizing on the applications of Statistics in Geosciences. The course is designed to provide students with specific skills, i.e. to understand the use of the software SPSS, as a tool to be used for the interpretation of research results. Specifically, the course aims to: • Help students to understand and use the basic concepts of statistics and probability theory. • Description and analysis of quantitative data through the application of descriptive statistics. Students will be able to use fundamental concepts for data analysis, such as: a) Data type recognition, b) Data presentation with statistic plots and estimation of basic statistical measures. • Analysis and understanding of the basic methods of statistics and its applications. Students will be able to work on the topics of estimation, confidence interval assessment, hypothesis testing, simple and multiple regression, ANOVA test, Correlation.
General Competences
  • Apply knowledge in practice
  • Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
  • Make decisions
  • Work autonomously
  • Be critical and self-critical
