A course handout will be provided, entailing minimum knowledge for the written exam.

Presence throughout the course is not necessary, but strongly recommended to allow following the practical courses in the afternoons.

No materials are permitted during examination.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Successful participants will gain a working understanding of the mathematical and computational mechanics behind the most commonly used statistical methods in ecology. They will understand how to interpret graphical and tabular output from univariate, bivariate and multivariate analyses of ecological datasets as presented in scientific papers and reports. The lecture also explains backgrounds of statistical thinking, hypothesis testing, study planning and experimental design.
The written exam will focus on these aspects, and a total of 10 points may be awarded, where the following total points correspond to grades 5-1: 0-5 points = 5, 6-7 = 4, 7-8 = 3, 8-9 = 2, 9-10 = 1.
