Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course focuses on regionalstatistic analysis and methods, which are conducted with the software Excel 2013. Beside a general introduction in (spatial) statistics, indicators that help to estimate and interpretate the regional disparities are applied in the exercises of this course.
