Examination topics
The course is scheduled as one block in February 2016 (Feb-8 to Feb-12, mornings). The lecture should be attended in combination with the practical course (UE) with the same title and taking place in the same period in the afternoons. A course handout will be provided.
Assessment and permitted materials
Presence throughout the course is not necessary, but strongly recommended to allow following the practical courses in the afternoons. The lecture mark is based on a written examination that can be taken on February 12 (in the last lecture), or on an alternative date in March 2016.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
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.
