Statistics

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  This course will familiarize students with the basics of statistical thinking, language, and techniques. Students should be able to recognize the usefulness and wide application of these methodologies to various contexts, particularly in their subject areas. It is intended that students develop data analysis capabilities as well as acquire fundamental knowledge of probability theory and random variables. It is intended that students develop their thinking skills, helping them to address and solve real practical problems in their area of study or in other contexts.
• ProgramaProgramme

  1. Parameters estimation: Interval estimation. 2. Hypotheses testing (Formulation of hypotheses, Errors and their probabilities, size effect) 3. Non parametric tests: Chi-square, Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk goodness of fit tests; Chi-square test of independence of two variables. 4. Parametric tests (Tests for one or two populations: one mean, equality of two means with independent and paired samples, one variance and two variances; Tests on the equality of two means for paired samples) 5. One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Levene test for the equality of k variances. Posthoc tests 6. Simple and multiple linear regression models. Assumptions
• ObjectivosObjectives

  Students are expected to: A. Estimate population parameters (mean and proportion) from samples (Confidence interval for mean); B. Determine the sample size with a predefined margin of precision, in the Confidence interval of parameters; C. Formulate the statistical hypotheses; D. Select and apply the appropriate inferential technique. E. Interpret the results obtained. F. Know how to present statistical analysis results in reports and other scientific works

• MetodologiaMethodology

  The classes are theoretical-practical, the theoretical concepts are presented and then complemented with practical examples. Orientations are given for students' study and learning. For each topic, it is presented a set of exercises of application of the theoretical concepts to concrete problems for students to solve in class and the final resolution is presented. The evaluation can be continuous or through final examination. Continuous valuation includes 1 tests (50%) and a report (40%) totaling 90% of the final grade, and 10% result of the commitment and participation shown during the semester. A student in a Normal regime is only able to be evaluated in continuous evaluation if present in at least 75% of the total classes. Students in the Worker-Student regime have the same valuation instruments except in the compulsory attendance in class.
