Keywords: 
Statistics, Data Analysis, Quantitative Methods, R
Course Description: 

The course gives an overview of basic and advanced statistical modeling techniques, their limitations and how to deal with those limitations, and how to approach complex data analysis projects. The course will also deepen the student’s knowledge in the programming language R, even though the focus is on statistics.

Course aims: 

• Mathematical basics and probability theory
• Parameter estimation and uncertainty
• Misuse of statistcs and causality
• Simple models
• Model checking
• More complex models
• Hierachies
• Bayesian statistics

Teaching methods: 

Lecture, Demonstrations, Excercises (PC), Homework

This course fits doctoral candidates in the following phase: 

☒ Beginn der Promotion / Beginning of the doctorate
☒ Während der Promotion / During the doctorate
☒ Endphase der Promotion / End of the doctorate

Participation requirements: 

Basic knowledge in statistics, knowledge in R is a plus

Technical requirements: 

Notebook

Course preparation: 

There will be prior reading material and a refresher on R
