To pass the course, the student is required to have certain conceptual and argumentative skills, and the equivalent of an introductory course in Calculus and Algebra.
The statistics course is the only course where students learn statistical techniques in the degree. The student must learn to make decisions based on data and how to represent them.
This course aims to:
-Describe and represent large amounts of data through the main measures of location and dispersion and be able to use graphs.
-Help students acquire the necessary skills for modeling situations with "Variability" techniques.
-Basing the decision-making process in general situations on the basis of incomplete information.
-To familiarize the future with computer techniques that directly reflect key statistics related to computer systems situations, and to use in the exercise of their profession.
In addition you will learn to use a SPSS software and a very powerful language such as R, available for free download specific packages and allows for a multitude of tasks statistical program.
Relationship to other subjects.
This is a subject of vital importance that students acquire a working method and a way of thinking and dealing with the difficulties of logic and rigorous manner. The course will take an interdisciplinary sense connecting problems and proposed materials and examples with other subjects of the curriculum. The concepts studied are used in almost all subjects of enhanced smart systems as well as in matters relating to the study of large amounts of data.
The student will describe tools for models with uncertainty and make decisions in the presence of this uncertainty.
Relationship between the profession
Statistics is a transverse field in a wide variety of disciplines, from physics, chemistry to social sciences. In recent decades, the quality control has approached statistical virtually all businesses and is used for decision making in almost all business areas.
In computing, it is common use for reporting and is also frequently used in areas such as data mining where there is an increasing number of computer professionals working. A level consultants, any consultant should have basic knowledge of statistics, like any computer analyst must know based inference techniques.

General comments about the planning: | This course schedule is APPROXIMATE. It could vary throughout the academic course due to teaching needs, bank holidays, etc. A weekly schedule will be properly detailed and updated on the online platform (Virtual Campus). Note that all the lectures, practice sessions, exams and related activities performed in the bilingual groups will be entirely taught and assessed in English. Classes will be scheduled in 3 sessions of one hour and a half per week. The assessment activities could be performed in the afternoon, in case of necessity. |
