Aim of the course

Aim of the course is to familiarize students with basics of statistical research, i.e. purposefulness of it, data mining, analysis of data, its graphical presentation and description by appropriate measures.

Prerequisites

Mathematical analysis, probability theory and economics.

Scope

1. Data structures - an introduction to chosen statistical package (e.g. R-project). (2 teaching hrs.)
2. Classification of statistical data, their grouping and depiction in tabular format. (3)
3. Graphical presentation of the given data values. Polygons of the counts. Histograms. Pie charts. Bar charts. (3)
4. Some measures of central tendency: arithmetic mean, geometric mean, harmonic mean, median, moda. Sample quantiles. Empirical cumulative distribution function.
Quantile-quantile plot and box-and-whisker plot. (4)
5. Some measures of dispersion: range, variance, standard deviation and coefficient of variation. (2)
6. Measures of skewness. Sample kurtosis. (2)
7. Test. (2)
8. The Lorenz curve. The Gini coefficient. (2)
9. Correlation between two variables. Scatter diagram. The Pearson correlation coefficient. Linear regression. (3)
10. Dependence of the nominal variables. Contingency table. Some measures of association: the Pearson coefficient, the Cramer coefficient and the Yula coefficient. (3)
11. The Paasche index. The Laspeyres index. The Fisher index. (2)
12. Test. (2)

Teaching methods

Application of the statistical package (e.g. R-project) and the relevant theoretical tools to analyse the data. Students present some statistical problem in the form of a project, which contains appropriate theory and tasks to the theory.

Assignment conditions

1. Checking students knowledge and their active participation in laboratory.
2. Tests with the tasks of different difficulty.
3. Project evaluation.
The condition of a positive grade from laboratory is to obtain of at least 50% of the maximum sum of points from the written tests and a positive grade from the report. A grade from laboratory consists of a grade from the written tests (70%) and of a grade from report (30%).
