Inhoud

Statistical analysis, also known as inferential statistics, aims to make conclusions which are valid for the entire population starting from a part of the population (a sample).
Since sampling is a random process, a call is to be made on probability theory to allow for generalisation based on the observation of a sample.
The classical one- and two-dimensional tests from statistical analysis (confidence intervals and hypothesis tests concerning the averages, variances, percentages, distribution and independency tests) are elaborated in more detail as well in this course. The most important tests from parametric as well as from non-parametric statistics are discussed.

Leerresultaten

General competences

In the framework of statistics and probability theory to:

  • bring a large knowledge of the bases of human sciences in the framework of a general education
  • lead to a critical attitude
  • initiate to be confident with new scientific knowledge
  • initiate to independent scientific research
  • learn to use recent informatic tools in collecting and treating information
  • learn to understand  mechanisms and  relations

Upon successful completion of this course, students should have:

  • a broad knowledge on statistics as a discipline and a deep understanding of the principles of uncertainty and methods to handle uncertainty, as well as the mathematical foundations underlying these statistical methods;
  • this should allow them as well to apply these methods to solve a variety of decision-making problems in a business context, by identifying the correct statistical approach to tackle the problem, by correctly applying the method as well as interpreting and explaining the results that are obtained;
  • an understanding of the use of statistical methods for conducting scientific research, across fields of study, and as such a thorough understanding of the scientific approach, which will serve them towards conducting themselves a research project as part of their master thesis project.

Beoordelingsinformatie

De beoordeling bestaat uit volgende opdrachtcategorieën:
Examen Schriftelijk bepaalt 75% van het eindcijfer

Examen Praktijk bepaalt 25% van het eindcijfer

Binnen de categorie Examen Schriftelijk dient men volgende opdrachten af te werken:

  • Written Exam met een wegingsfactor 75 en aldus 75% van het totale eindcijfer.

Binnen de categorie Examen Praktijk dient men volgende opdrachten af te werken:

  • Intermediate Tests met een wegingsfactor 25 en aldus 25% van het totale eindcijfer.

Aanvullende info mbt evaluatie

To pass this course, the student needs to pass (i.e. obtain at least half the maximum score) for the exam component "obligatory written exam". This condition does not apply to the intermediate tests.

The weights of both components in the final grade is as follows:

  • 25% for the intermediate assignments during the semester (theory and exercises)
  • 75% for the obligatory written exam (theory and exercises)

Written exams are closed-book exams for the theoretical part, open-book for the exercises.

The intermediate tests can only be taken during the semester in first session, not in second session. The grade of the intermediate assignments will be automatically transfered to second session.

Absence for at least one of the obligatory parts of the exams results in absence for the overall examination.

No partial exemptions or partial transfers of marks to the next academic year are given.
