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:

  • give the student basic knowledge within the field of human sciences 
  • lead the student to a critical attitude
  • initiate the student to be confident with new scientific knowledge
  • initiate the student to independent scientific research
  • learn the student to use recent informatic tools (software R) in collecting and treating information
  • learn the student to understand mechanisms and  relations

Upon successfully completing this course: 

  • The student will have a broad knowledge of statistics as a discipline and a good understanding of the domain of parametric and non-parametric statistics. 
  • The student will be able to apply these methods to various decision-making problems (including those in the context of business and economics) by selecting the appropriate statistical method, applying it, and interpreting and explaining the results. 
  • The student will be able to evaluate whether a certain method can be applied in a given context by checking assumptions and conditions.
  • The student will understand how the basic statistical tests and models covered in the course are constructed (including z-tests, t-tests, Chi-square tests, linear regression, non-parametric tests). 
  • The student will be able to apply statistical methods for scientific research, which contributes to conducting independent scientific research in the context of the masterthesis.

Beoordelingsinformatie

De beoordeling bestaat uit volgende opdrachtcategorieën:
Examen Schriftelijk bepaalt 90% van het eindcijfer

Examen Praktijk bepaalt 10% van het eindcijfer

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

  • Written Exam met een wegingsfactor 90 en aldus 90% van het totale eindcijfer.

    Toelichting: The obligatory written exam consists of 2 parts: closed book for theory and open book for exercises

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

  • Intermediate Tests met een wegingsfactor 10 en aldus 10% van het totale eindcijfer.

Aanvullende info mbt evaluatie

Both the intermediate tests (10%) and the obligatory written exam (90%) will be conducted using multiple-choice questions. The obligatory written exam will be scored by positive scoring with a higher passing grade (cesuur). This means that no points will be deducted for a wrong answer. However, guessing will be taken into account in the final grade by increasing the passing grade. The exact passing grade for the exam will be communicated in due time.

For the intermediate tests, a 10% point deduction per day will be applied for late submissions.

To pass this course, the student must pass (i.e. score at least half of the points) on the exam component "obligatory written exam". This requirement does not apply to the intermediate tests.

Absence from the obligatory written exam will result in absence for the overall assessment.

The score obtained in the first session for the intermediate tests will also apply to the second session. It is not possible to retake the intermediate tests in the second session.

Partial exemption from the course material or partial transfer of grades to the next academic year is not possible.
