Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming)
Learning outcomes
The main aim is to introduce students to programming environment for data analysis and visualization and teach the student how to use it during the data analysis.
Students are able to communicate with programming environment R and know how to use it during the data analysis and visualization.
Prerequisites
Prerequisities: KMI/TPS2 or KMI/TPS2A Theory of Probability and Statistics 2

Assessment methods and criteria
Combined exam, Test

Credit Requirements: Seminars are mainly oriented on unsupported individual work with teacher. Seminars are tightly linked to content of lectures. The main part of work in seminars could be described as "problem solving". Themes of seminar works corresponds with explained topics on lectures. Fore more details see the summary of subject. Students are working with programming environment R during the seminars. Students obtain the credit on the base of submission of the one seminar work, attendance and passing the test. In some cases could be assign individual work. Examination Requirements: To pass written part of exam you have to solve absolute majority of problems.
