Qantitative analyses

 

 

Proficiency in (mathematically grounded) quantitative data analysis is key to many modern applications in data science. Understanding the basic underlying principles helps to interpret data analysis results, even if one does not analyze the data by oneself.

Contents

Basic notions of mathematical and applied statistics are presented. Some prototypical statistical models, in particular regression models and time series models, are treated in more detail. Major topics are point estimation, confidence estimation, testing, and prediction. At some occasions, connections to statistical (machine) learning are drawn. The course consists of lectures and practical hands-on sessions.

Outcomes

  • Principles of decision making under uncertainty
  • Statistical data modeling
  • Statistical data analysis
  • Interpretation of statistical data analysis results
