Description: |
| This course deals with the basic methods of statistical data analysis in areas like regression analysis, analysis of variance, contingency table analysis, non-parametric methods and survey sampling. This course builds on MZS246. It explains the reasoning underlying the statistical methods, using mathematical and statistical arguments as necessary but avoiding heavy detailed theory. An important element of the course is the use of a computer package, but no knowledge of any programming is assumed and the student will not have to write any programs. Practical applications are emphasized throughout, and extensive use is made of data examples taken from such fields as engineering, medicine, psychology, biology, physics, economics and social science. Assessment is by assignments and final examination. Programmes for which this course is required or in which it can be included:
Bachelor of Science in Computing
Bachelor of Science in Mathematics
Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with Economics
Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with Management. |
