Statistical methods and data analysis

Lecturer: Prof. Stefano Siboni

Aim

The aim of the course is to illustrate the basic mathematical tools for the analysis and modelling of experimental data, particularly concerning the main statistical methods. The idea is not simply to describe and discuss the "cooking recipes" for the statistical treatment of data, but also to introduce and analyse in a critical way the statistical models implemented by the computation procedures, stressing their limitations and the actual interpretation of the results.

Assessment modality

For the first part, participants are required to pass a written examination consisting in the application of some statistical techniques (calculation of confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, calculation of correlation coefficients, linear regressions by chi-square or least squares fitting - regression straight lines). For the topics of the second part, homework and oral discussion.
