Course overview
Students will learn the theoretical and practical foundation of quantitative methods.
Students will learn to:
• Choose and apply appropriate methosd of descriptive statistics and interpret results.
• Choose and apply appropriate methods of parameter estimation and statistical tests and interpret results.
• Formulate research hypotheses, evaluate them using statistical methods, and summarize the results in a research paper.
This module will enable students to independently apply quantitative analysis and through examples and exercises develop the knowledge, understanding and skills of modelling realistic problems.
Content
General subject content:
