Objectives
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING

THE PURPOSE OF THE COURSE IS TO PRESENT A UNIFIED AND CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK FOR LINEAR STATISTICAL MODELLING. MOREOVER, THE MOST IMPORTANT MULTIVARIATE TECHNIQUES ARE SHOWN. THERE IS AN EMPHASIS ON THEIR USE AS TOOL FOR ANALYSING THE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG ECONOMIC VARIABLES.


APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING

THE STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO APPLY THE PROPOSED STATISTICAL TOOLS IN A ECONOMIC CONTEXT.


MAKING JUDGEMENTS

THE STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO CRITICALLY SELECT THE MODEL AND THE PROCEDURES WHICH ARE MOST APPROPRIATE FOR THE KIND OF THE ANALYZED PROBLEM.


COMMUNICATION SKILLS

PARTICULAR EMPHASIS IS GIVEN TO THE PRESENTATION OF THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE APPLICATION OF THE PROPOSED MODELS AND THE MULTIVARIATE TECHNIQUES.


LEARNING SKILLS

THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE THE STUDENTS WITH THE ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY APPLIED THE DIFFERENT PROPOSED MODELS IN REAL CONTEXT AND APPLICATIONS. MOREOVER, THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO ANALYZE MULTIVARIATE PROBLEMS.


Prerequisites
BASIC ELEMENTS OF MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS.
