Class Statistics II

The main goal of the curricular unit is to introduce students to statistical inference techniques and to linear regression. The syllabus was chosen taking into account the course framework and the syllabus of other curricular units, so that students can continue their studies and develop their professional activity.

The proposed teaching methodologies integrate a set of pedagogical innovation practices based on evidence and adjusted to the objectives and contents of the curricular unit. Classes will be of theoretical and practical nature, where the theoretical exposition of the syllabus is accompanied by the presentation of practical examples and problem solving, namely through statistical software, in individual or small group activities with teacher feedback. Students will be exposed to interactive educational resources, such as quizzes and the articulation with other curricular units, namely Quantitative Research Methods, will be evidenced. The evaluation is carried out taking into account the assessment regulation "Regulamento Geral de Avaliação da Universidade Lusófona" (see Avaliação - Instrumentos e Parâmetros de Avaliação ).
