Prerequisites (in Czech)
F7270 Math. methods for data anal.
Předpokladem je znalost základů pravděpodobnosti a matematické statistiky (v rozsahu kurzu F7270, pro studenty FSI VUT kurzu Matematika IV). Jde o práci s náhodnými proměnnými (i vícerozměrnými), přehled základních diskrétních a spojitých rozdělení, teorii odhadu a testování hypotéz, lineární a nelineární regresní analýza.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
Course objectives
Students should be (after finishing the course) capable of:
- analysing statisticaly of (inhomogeneous) data sample
- designing a set of proposed measurements, reveal critical points in the space of possible entry parameters
- choosing and applying of a robust method of data reduction
- eliminating (disentangling) trends in series of data
- choosing of a suitable optimization process in model-experiment comparison
Syllabus
  • Review of mathematical statistics
  • Easy cases - physical experiments revisited
  • Regression - from linear to orthogonal, robust methods
  • Multidimensional problems, reducing number of variables
  • Event densities, KDE
  • Moment estimates from samples
  • Ortogonal spaces (polynoms)
  • Upper limits
Literature
    recommended literature
  • Statistical methods in experimental physics. Edited by Frederick E. James. 2nd ed. Hackensack, N.J.: World Scientific, 2006, xviii, 345. ISBN 9789812705273. info
Teaching methods
Lectures combined with practical examples (during exercises), independently solved problems (sumulated "experimental" data).
Assessment methods
During the course, students solve individually 1-2 problems (e.g. hypothesis/model testing); final written report is based on analysis of computer-generated data, the results are discussed in a form of colloquium.
Language of instruction
Czech

Study Materials
