| Learning outcomes: After successfully completing this module students will be able to: - describe basic economic concepts of descriptive statistics for univariate and bivariate data analysis, - apply concepts for the graphical presentation of empirical data, - select suitable methods for statistical data analysis and clearly defined research subjects, - identify correlations and dependencies between statistical features, - describe and model random phenomena using concepts from the probability theory, - describe basic methods from the probability theory and apply them to exemplary economic situations, - apply the most important discrete and continuous probability distributions (e. g. binomial and normal distributions), - explain basic procedures of inferential statistics such as the principle of point and interval estimators and the testing of hypotheses, - solve business practice problems with the help of adequate statistical methods and interpret the results obtained, - understand possible applications in other fields of business studies and their practice, - know the limits of the statistical methodology used and discuss them critically.

| Module content: Descriptive statistics: - Classification of features - Frequency tables for classified and nonclassified data - Graphical representation of univariate data sets - Description of univariate datasets using measures of central tendency, dispersion and concentration - Bivariate data analysis: graphical representation of data sets and investigation of the correlation of statistical variables (contingency, correlation, rank correlation) - Linear regression Probability calculation: - Probability terms: Laplace distribution, statistical probability, Kolmogorov´s probability theory - Elementary calculation rules, total probability theorem, Bayesian theorem - Discrete and continuous random variables - Special distribution models (e.g. binomial and normal distribution) Inferential statistics: - Properties and construction of estimators - Estimation of parameters (point and interval estimation) - Formulation of statistical hypotheses - Test procedure for expected values, proportional values and variances [updated 14.03.2018] |
| Teaching methods/Media: Lecture and discussion in a large group using transparencies (projectors) and the blackboard (theory and example calculations). The lecture will be supplemented by exercises and tutorials. In order to support independent work, a large number of exercise sheets covering the wide range topics in this module will be provided. Afterwards, the solutions will be discussed with the students. Both the lecture notes and the exercise sheets will be available to students in electronic form. [updated 14.03.2018] |
