Mathematical Statistics: Design of Experiments

Learn how to design and analyze experiments in this advanced introductory course in mathematical statistics. Gain knowledge on how to structure experiments and analyse data to draw objective conclusions. The course is mandatory for certain specialisations within the Bachelor’s program in Natural Sciences, but it can also be taken as an elective in other programs or as a standalone course.

The course is aimed at those interested in engineering, physics, chemistry, biotechnology, or biology. You will learn methods commonly used in industry to develop new products and improve manufacturing processes. After completing the course, you will be able to explain and apply fundamental methods in factorial experiments, analysis of variance, regression analysis, and covariance analysis.

The studies include lectures, exercises, and laboratory sessions. The labs are mandatory and provide practical experience in applying statistical methods. Assessment is through an oral exam and approved computer-based lab reports.

To pass the course, you must complete both the lab reports and the oral exam. The course provides a solid foundation in mathematical statistics.
