Course objectives

Statistical evaluation of results is an essential part of many anthropological researches. In the exercises the principles of basic statistical methods will be explained using examples from common practice. Students will be able to recognize situations where individual statistical methods can be used in practice, and to choose the most appropriate method under specific circumstances. They will exercise their computational skills necessary for statistical testing of hypotheses and simplifying the data file. Students will also learn to perform these basic statistical tests in R software.

Learning outcomes

After completing this course:
- student is able to perform exploratory data analysis;
- student controls simpler methods of inductive statistics;
- student can interpret outputs from statistical software.

Syllabus

Teaching methods

Practicals, two hours per week. Full-time teaching. This could be substituted by learning from educational videos and on-line consultations using MS Teams at the time of practicals, if epidemiological situation worsens.

Assessment methods

Attandance (two absences are allowed), two written tests (50% correct answers from each test is needed to pass). Absence could be substituted by doing and submitting the solution of the homework in terms of educational videos. This also will be applied to on-line scenario.

Language of instruction
