Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This is an introduction to applied statistics. The main goal of the course is for students to develop the necessary foundations and skills to implement quantitative empirical research independently. Students are required to make "hands-on" applications of the material studied in the course.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Students will be marked according to 3 different homeworks (20% each) and a final project (40%). Failure to hand in any of these implies a negative evaluation of the course.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Students should prove a good command (at least 50%) of the course’s topics. 50% - 60% implies a 4; 60% - 70% a 3; 70% - 85% a 2; above 80% a 1.

Prüfungsstoff

There are no exams. The course’s main topics are descriptive statistics, probability, random variables, inference, regression analysis.

Literatur

The course has been prepared with two textbooks:

Newbold, Carlson and Thorne (2013): Statistics for Business and Economics, Pearson, 8th edition, (NCT)

Shafer and Zhang (2012): Beginning Statistics (legally available online for free), (SZ)

Other introductory statistics textbooks are likely to provide very similar treatments.

Many examples have been borrowed from the following (rather entertaining) books:

1. Charles Wheelan (2013): Naked Statistics. Stripping the Dread from the Data, W.W. Norton.

2. Leonard Mlodinow (2008): The Drunkard'S Walk. How Randomess Rules Our Lives, Pantheon Books.

3. Nate Silver (2012): The Signal and the Noise. Why So Many Predictions Fail, But Some Don't, Penguin Books.
