Learning outcomes |
To apply strategies of Statistical Inference.
At the end of this UC students should be able to:
a) identify issues of science and biological and medical technologies that can be solved with probability strategies and statistical inference;
b) build probabilistic models appropriate to the problems;
c) select and apply strategies of Statistical Inference in solving problems.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The classes will be fundamentally theoretical-practical in nature, combining the exposure of syllabus, with their discussion and application in practical examples. Previously provided notes/slides will be provided for the student to do a preliminary study and in class will be made an exhibition of the main contents.
The more theoretical contents will be presented with the use of practical and concrete examples.
The evaluation of this UC includes holding two written tests and five mini-tests to be performed on the computer.
