Lernergebnisse der Lehrveranstaltung

After successfully completing this course, students will be able to • differentiate univariate and multivariate methods from one another and explain their processes and applications, • explain the methodological and mathematical knowledge required for the preparation and basic analysis of data sets, • use a professional programming language (e.g. R or Python) to tackle statistical problems and generate concrete solutions based on data available by independently creating, testing and implementing scripts of low to medium complexity, • apply the essential fundamental principles of error-free and transparent programming, analyse the structure of more complex scripts and interpret individual commands, and • apply established methods for assessing and displaying results of statistical analyses including various diagram types, tables and reports and create these single-handedly.
