First time: Study year 2011-2012
Course contents:
General principles regarding design and analysis of experiments, replication, randomisation and blocking. Completely randomised designs, one-way analysis of variance. Randomised complete block design, two-way analysis of variance. Multiple comparisons, contrasts. Factorial designs, interactions. Unbalanced data in factorial designs. Hierarchical designs. Fixed and random effects, variance components.
Learning outcome:
KNOWLEDGE: The students will learn to use fundamental statistical principles when they design experiments, to compare different groups or treatments, and to analyse data from such experiments by means of analysis of variance.
SKILLS: The students should be able to perform statistical analyzes with the methods mentioned in Knowledge. They should be able to interpret the results of the analyzes and convey what has been done, the results and the weaknesses and limitations of the analyzes and models. They should understand the importance of having good data (eg, representativeness, independence) in order to draw useful and correct conclusions from a survey.
COMPETENCE: The students should be able to apply what they have learned to problems in their studies and later in their professional life and perform analyzes on their own data. At the same time, they should be able to ask critical questions about statistical results that they generate or are presented to them and assess the quality of these results.
