21201511 - I.T.: STATISTICAL ANALYSIS LABORATORY

The course aims at providing students with basic knowledge of statistical analysis software tools such as Matlab. The final objective of the course is to ensure that students, at the end of the teaching activity, are able to perform some of the main statistical
applications and, in the case of applications not developed within the course, to being able to learn independently the knowledge necessary for the development of such applications.

Type of delivery of the course

The course is taught through theoretical lectures in the classroom and laboratory exercises. Moodle: https://economia.el.uniroma3.it/course/index.php?categoryid=5

Type of evaluation

The verification of the learning takes place through an oral test and the evaluation of a project, aimed at verifying the level of effective understanding of the concepts and the students' ability to apply them in real contexts. Due to the Coronavirus Emergency, the summer semester verifications will be realized by means of the TEAMS platform orally.
