The aim of this course is to initiate students into the basic statistical concepts and customise them with their application, essential to a modern geographer.
Realistic examples and exercises drawn from different areas of geography have been chosen to highlight the practical relevance of the subject. The goal is to provide students with the necessary theoretical background along with the practical skills so as to proceed with a statistical analysis.
– Sampling
– Descriptive Statistics
– Discrete and Continuous Random Variables and Probability Distributions
Inferential Statistics
The course outline is two-fold: lectures (2 hours/week) and computer laboratory tutorial (1 hour/week). Students are highly recommended to systematically attend lectures; attending the laboratory tutorials is compulsory.
Students’ evaluation consists of a mid-term exam on lab-courses (counting for 40% of total grade) along with written exams on statistical theory at the end of the semester (60% of total grade).
