Statistics - Inductive Statistics

Details

ID 2858620
Duration 3.0 days
Methods Lecture with examples and exercises.
Prerequisites General knowledge of math
Target group Data Analysts

Overview

In statistics, statistical inference is the process of drawing conclusions from data that is subject to random variation, for example, observational errors or sampling variation. Statistical induction helps describing systems of procedures that can be used to draw conclusions from datasets arising from systems affected by random variation, such as observational errors, random sampling, or random experimentation. It is then used to test hypotheses and make estimations using sample data. This training covers all the fundamentals of inductive statistics (probability theory, probability distributions and hypotheses testing) which can be used in marketing, controlling and engineering. You will learn theory and the mathematical foundations in lectures with examples and you will train your new knowledge in practical hands-on labs and exercices.
