Statistical data processing
7.5 creditsThe course focuses on linking analytical and numerical methods for analysis of practical statistical problems. It consists of a number of small projects, each of which improves active problem solving skills with computers. The projects aim at deepening the understanding of statistical methods, such as e.g. sampling distributions, used in introductory statistical courses. Data visualization is an important part of the course. The projects are performed using the statistical packages SPSS, SAS, R, but other programs such as Ox and Excel may also be treated.
Distance – study where you are
Perhaps you would like to study in the Swedish mountains, in a big city, or at home close to family? Many of our programmes and courses are offered in distance format.
Studying at a distance can be done in different ways, either entirely without physical gatherings or with only a few gatherings on campus or at one of our learning centres. The common denominator is that a large part of your studies takes place online. You communicate with the teacher and other students with the help of a learning platform with discussion forums, group work, recorded lectures and online meetings.
The benefit of distance studies is the flexibility, something that is valuable if you want to be free to decide when and where you want to study. Some compulsory elements on you course or programme may take place during office hours, even though they are online.
