Learning outcomes |
At the end of the course unit the student should:
- know how to select and apply probability and statistical techniques to solve problems in the field of Web-focused Computer Science;
- be able to take part in studies involving the statistical processing of data, using R software, and interpret the results obtained.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The classes are theoretical-practical, in which the student will be guided to the resolution of exercises involving statistical inference techniques, using SPSS whenever necessary.
The assessment of knowledge and skills acquired by students during the teaching-learning process is done by means of two tests (F_1 and F_2, rated from 0 to 20) with a weighting of 0.5 each.
The final teaching-learning classification (CEA,,expressed in 0 to 20 values) is calculated as follows
CEA=0,5F_1+0,5F_2,
Final exam exemption is granted when the CEA is equal to or higher than 9.5 points, requiring a minimum score of 3 points in each test. The grade of ``FREQUENCY'' is awarded.when CEA is less than 9,5 points.
Grades above 18 points are defended with an oral exam.
