| THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE TOOLS, METHODS AND MODELS FOR TREATMENT AND ANALYSIS OF DATA SURVEYS. PARTICULAR EMPHASIS WILL BE GIVEN TO BOTH THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS. THE FIRST ONES ARE RELATED TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF STATISTICAL MODELS, WHERE VARIABLES PLAY A CAUSE AND EFFECT ROLE TO BE VERIFIED. IN EXPLORATORY TECHNIQUES WHERE THE INTEREST IS IN INVESTIGATING THE PHENOMENON UNDER STUDY FOR ITSELF, THE INTEREST IS TO DISCOVER RELATIONSHIPS TO BE VERIFIED AT A LATER STAGE. THE APPLICATION OF THE TECHNIQUES STUDIED LEAD TO THE NEED OF ICT-BASED TOOLS AND ADVANCED (SPECIALIZED STATISTICAL SOFTWARE). CLASS HOURS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH PRACTICES IN A COMPUTER LAB DEDICATED TO THE APPLICATION OF THE TECHNIQUES UNDER STUDY. |
