Outline and objectives

In this course, students learn basic concepts and skills of statistical methods and data analysis.

Goal

The objective of this course is twofold. First, students learn basic concepts in statistics (e.g., mean, standard deviation, standard error, normal distribution, t-test and regression analysis). Second, practical skills for visualizing data and conducting appropriate statistical tests are introduced and students practice them using statistical software.

Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking this class?

Will be able to gain “DP 1”, “DP 2”, and “DP 4”.

Default language used in class

英語 / English

Method(s)(学期の途中で変更になる場合には、別途提示します。 /If the Method(s) is changed, we will announce the details of any changes. )

This is an introductory course on statistical methods and data analysis. It explains the basic ideas behind statistical testing and covers various statistical methods for survey and experimental data. Each class combines a lecture with hands-on exercises (free statistical software are used). In addition, an assignment is given after every class. At the beginning of class, feedback for the previous class is given using some comments from submitted assignments. Students are encouraged to ask questions and to be actively involved in the class.
