Course content
1. Introduction to the mathematical statistics - point estimation, interval estimation, hypothesis testing. 2. Analysis about one quantitative variable: one sample tests about a normal distribution parameters, one sample Wilcoxon test, verification of assumptions about the shape of the distribution (goodness-of-fit tests with unknown parameters). 3. Analysis about one categorical variable: estimation and hypothesis testing for the Bernoulli distribution, goodness-of-fit tests with known parameters. 4. Basic methods for evaluating the relationship between two categorical variables - contingency tables (tests of independence, tests of symmetry). 5. Basic methods for evaluating the relationship between quantitative and categorical variables - two samples parametric tests. 6. Basic methods for evaluating the relationship between quantitative and categorical variables - two samples nonparametric tests. 7. Basic methods for evaluating the relationship between quantitative and categorical variables - one-way analysis of variance. 8. Basic methods for evaluating the relationship between quantitative and categorical variables - Kruskal-Wallis test as a nonparametric alternative to one-way analysis of variance. 9. Basic methods for evaluating the relationship between two quantitative variables - linear regression: interpretation of parameters, their estimation and hypotheses testing about these parameters. 10. Advanced methods - categorical dependent variable and quantitative or categorical explanatory variables: logistic regression (dependent variable of 2 categories): interpretation of parameters (odds ratio), their estimation and hypotheses testing about these parameters. 11. Advanced methods - interactions. 12. Advanced methods - categorical dependent variable and quantitative or categorical explanatory variables: multinomial regression (dependent variable of more than two categories). 13. Advanced methods - quantitative dependent variable and quantitative or categorical explanatory variables: multiple regression, introduction to nonlinear regression. 14. Advanced methods - quantitative dependent variable: two-way analysis of variance.
