Learning unit contents
This course consists of about ten theoretical lectures related to descriptive statistics. The graphical and numerical tools summarizing the information available in univariate data are first described. Elementary strategies enabling to quantify and to represent graphically the association between several variables are also studied. Finally, survey sampling is tackled with the main probabilist survey plans. Estimation of means and proportions are tackled in that framework.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
To understand and know how to use basic descriptive statistics tools, including the JASP software; To study the statistical bases of survey theory and to be able to estimate means and proportions within this framework.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
