| Kompetenceområder | |||||||||||||
| Competences obtained within basic science: Knowledge of basic types of statistical estimation, confidence intervals and statistical tests. Knowledge of simple differential equations and simple vector and matrix calculations. Competences obtained within applied science: Knowledge of how statistical methods are used to analyse biological data. Competences obtained within Ethics & Values: Is aware of how statistics should be used to treat data without undue bias and subjective selection. | |||||||||||||
| Kursets målsætning | |||||||||||||
| The students will get some ideas on how statistics is used in planning and analysis of experiments. They should be able to understand simple statistical reasoning in the scientific literature, but they are not expected to able to carry out such analyses independently. The course also gives practical examples relevant in biology and some practice in the handling of data using a statistical computer program. In mathematics high school calculus is refreshed and consolidat. | |||||||||||||
