Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This is a course in applied statistics. Its main goal is for students to develop the foundations necessary to implement quantitative empirical research independently. For this purpose, they are required to carry out a number of "hands-on" applications. The course is taught at an introductory level.

The course is taught on site.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Students are graded according to three homeworks (20% each) and a final project (40%). Failure to hand in any of these implies a negative evaluation of the course.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Students should prove a good command (at least 50%) of the course’s topics; 50% - 59% implies a 4; 60% - 69%, a 3; 70% - 84%, a 2; 85% - 100%, a 1.

Prüfungsstoff

Topics: descriptive statistics, probability, random variables, statistical inference, regression analysis, causal inference

Literatur

The course is strongly (but not exclusively) based on Newbold, Carlson and Thorne (2013): Statistics for Business and Economics, Pearson, 8th edition.
