Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Understand "elementary" mathematics profoundly
    • Understand the fundamentals of probability and statistics
  • Address literature and interact within other scientific fields
    • Have a good knowledge of related fields using mathematics

Learning Outcomes of UE

To be able to analyse correctly usual statistical data in practice. This implies to master basic concepts in statistic and probability and to develop a potential to analyse a problem and to reformulate it in « statistical language », to apply statistical tools using a computer, and finally, to present results clearly and adequately in a scientific report.

Content of UE

Descriptive statistics; Mean; Median; Standard deviation; Variance; Q-Q plot; Boxplot; Histogram; Statistical population; Sampling; Inference; Probabilities; Statistic distribution; Central limit theorem; Confidence interval; Hypothesis test; Parametric and non parametric tests; Simple linear regression; Binomial, Poisson, Chi-2, Normal, Student t and F distributions; Student t-test; One factor ANOVA; Wilkoxon-Mann-Withney test, Kruskal-Wallis test; Correlation; Pearson; Spearman; R software.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q1

  • Written examination
  • Quoted exercices

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

Test made of 20 questions all over the course for the theory. Timing: 2h, with pocket calculator. Evaluation of one of the reports made during the exercices for 2/3 of the T.P. evaluation note, plus a question about practical use of the software for 1/3 of the T.P. evaluation note. Final note is the arithmetic mean of thetheory and T.P. notes.
