Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with non-elementary principles of quantitative data evaluation. More complicated concepts of one-dimensional data analysis and multidimensional data analysis will be introduced. Analytical procedures will be practiced using STATISTICA software.
Students are able to prepare an experiment to collect quantitative data, evaluate complex experimental and non-experimental research plans using GLM / GLZ methods and some multidimensional methods such as PCA, FA, MDS, cluster analysis, etc.

Prerequisites
|
To complete the course, it is necessary to complete the basic statistics course, ie familiarity with probability theory, knowledge of calculations and the importance of the characteristics of data sets, understanding the principles of hypothesis testing, correlation and linear regression.

Assessment methods and criteria
|
Written examination
Credit requirements: 1. Proof of identity by student card (= index). 2. Personal participation in seminars, two absences are allowed (does not apply to KS). 3. Credit test passed at least 60% in total. The credit form consists of two parts in the standard form - 6 tasks in the so-called Midterm exam and 4 tasks in the credit week (for KS both within the deadline agreed at the 1st consultation). Both tests are electronic, software STATISTICA). The subject of the credit is the practical ability to solve statistical problems in STATISTICA, including: import of data from XLS / XLSX format, data transformation, variable addition, graph adjustment to the required format, t-test calculations, F-test, one-factor ANOVA (including post-hoc test ) - and its non-parametric counterparts, correlation (Pearson, Spearman), linear regression, analysis of variance (factorial ANOVA, RMANOVA, MANOVA, Nested design ANOVA, ANCOVA), regression models (normal, binomial, multinomial, ordinal), cluster analysis (K -means, hierarchy) and ordination analyzes (PCA, RDA, DCA / CA, CCA, CCorA). Note for PS: If you did not pass the "midterm exam" due to your absence, then you will pass it together with the 2nd credit test in the credit week. If you do not get at least 60% in the sum of the "midterm exam" and the 2nd credit test, you must pass both tests together in the resit period - you have two resit dates (applies to PS and KS). Exam requirements: 1. Pass a test at least 60%. The exam is focused on theoretical knowledge, it asks 14 questions. 10 questions always have four possible answers (just one of them is correct) - a point is obtained for the correct answer, points are not deducted for incorrect answers, 4 questions are with a free answer, a point is awarded for the correct answer. The optional written part of the exam is followed by an optional oral part. 2. Proof of identity by student card (= index).
