Objectives
THE COURSE AIMS TO INTRODUCE THE MAIN STATISTICAL METHODS AND MODELS USED TO DESCRIBE, INTERPRET AND PREDICT DATA FROM VARIOUS CONTEXTS.
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING CAPACITY
THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDING THE THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL TOOLS NECESSARY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND THE USE OF A WIDE CLASS OF STATISTICAL MODELS, EVEN COMPLEX, AND TO PREPARE THE STUDENT FOR THE INTERPRETATION, SPECIFICATION AND ESTIMATION OF THE AFOREMENTIONED MODELS. THE STRUCTURE OF THE COURSE IS MAINLY APPLIED, IN ORDER TO FOCUS ON SOLUTIONS OF THE TYPICAL PROBLEMS WITH DATA ANALYSIS, SUPPORTED BY APPROPRIATE STATISTICAL SOFTWARE, AND TO PREPARE STUDENTS FOR THE CORRECT CHOICE OF THE MOST APPROPRIATE MODELS IN THE PARTICULAR CONTEXT UNDER ANALYSIS. ALL THE TOPICS COVERED DURING THE COURSE WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY TUTORIALS ON REAL DATA.

APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED DURING THE COURSE WILL ALLOW THE STUDENT: TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE MOST APPROPRIATE MODELS FOR THE ANALYSIS AND FORECASTING OF DATA GENERATED IN DIFFERENT EMPIRICAL CONTEXTS (ECONOMIC, MANAGERIAL, MEDICAL, SOCIAL, ETC.); TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY AND USE STATISTICAL SOFTWARE USEFUL FOR THE ESTIMATION OF SUCH MODELS AND FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF SUITABLE PLOTS AND TABLES TO SUMMARIZE THE RESULTS OF THE ESTIMATION AND FORECASTING; TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE IN A TECHNICAL OR INFORMATIVE WAY THE FINAL ESTIMATIONS AND TO PRODUCE OR INTERPRET STATISTICAL REPORTS SUMMARIZING THE RESULTS OF THE ANALYSIS.
Prerequisites
IT IS REQUIRED THE EXAM ON STATISTICAL INFERENCE AND AN ADEQUATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LINEAR ALGEBRA

Teaching Methods
THE TOTAL NUMBER OF HOURS IS 60: 44 IN CLASSROOM AND 26 IN COMPUTING ROOM.
Verification of learning
THE FINAL EXAM IS CHARACTERIZED BY TWO PARTS: THE WRITTEN AND THE ORAL EXAMINATION.
THE FIRST PART INCLUDES THEORETICAL QUESTIONS, EXERCISES ON THE THREE MODULES OF THE COURSE AND A QUESTION THAT REQUIRE THE USE OF THE R-SOFTWARE. THE ORAL PART IS BASED ON AN INTERVIEW.
THE ORAL INTERVIEW CAN BE TAKEN IF THE STUDENT HAS PASSED THE WRITTEN EXAM WITH A MINIMUM SCORE OF 18.
