About this course
Learning outcome
KNOWLEDGE: The students will aquire a basic theoretical understanding of the most important classes of mathematical-statistical models used for instance when analysing biological data, and for the statistical methods developed in connection with such models.
SKILLS: They should be able to see connections for exponential distribution classes in general and for linear models in particular. They should also understand why and when a model reduction produces better result. The students will also be able to present subject-relevant material both orally and written.
COMPETENCE: The students should be able to apply what they have learned to problems in their studies and later in the professional life and perform analyzes on their own data. They should also be able to ask critical questions about the statistical results presented to them and assess the sustainability of these.
