Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to provide information on essential methods of the biometric analysis and evaluation of the observed experimental data. The main topics of the course: the probability theory, distributions, hypotheses, selected statistical tests, analysis of variance, correlation and regression analysis; planning experiments, sampling and comparing samples, random process, random sample, randomization. The practical exercising is included, too.
