scheda docente | materiale didattico

Programma


The first lessons will be devoted to a summary of basic statistical concepts (such as variance, covariance, correlation, linear combinations) and matrix algebra.
We will then move on to the study of possible data matrix syntheses: composite indicators, principal component analysis; cluster analysis.
Finally, after a summary of simple regression (i.e. the straight line), we will move on to the study of multiple regression.
Emphasis will be placed on case studies .

Modalità Erogazione

The course consists of both traditional face-to-face lectures and laboratory lessons and discussion of case studies. In the event of an extension of the health emergency from COVID-19, e-learning will consist in live and deferred audio recordings, as well as distribution of hand outs.

Modalità Frequenza

Frequency, although not strictly mandatory, is strongly recommended. In fact, there are no textbooks that follow the lessons and the discussion of case-studies .

Modalità Valutazione

Assessment is based on a written test containing both open-ended theoretical questions and requests to comment on or elaborate a data set; followed by a short oral test. (Usually on the same day). For attending students, it is possible to take the written test immediately at the end of the course, and the oral test at one of the winter session appointments.
