"Contents:\nThe content of the course consists of the following topics:\ndata collection, descriptive statistics, introduction to probability theory;\nintroduction to probability distributions: binomial, normal, and student;\nestimation, testing hypotheses, constructing confidence intervals;\napplication of a binomial test for a population proportion;\napplication of t-tests to standard situations; one sample, two sample, one sample with paired observations;\ncorrelation and Simple linear regression with associated t-tests for coefficients;\nusing statistical software, in particular R-Commander;\nethical issues, as touching upon good statistical practice, will be discussed in class.\nIn the course it will be shown, where these statistical concepts are applied in scientific research. In the tutorials the practical problems are introduced, and a detailed program is given linking the content of the course to the tutorials.\nLearning outcomes:\nAfter successful completion of this course, students are expected to be able to:\n- remember and understand basic ideas of statistical inference and data collection\n- determine and explain the appropriate statistical procedure, given the description of the experiment, the research question, and the type of data\n- carry out the needed analyses for the discussed standard situations and assess the results in terms of the problem\n- perform a hypothesis test for intercept and slope and validate the model assumptions of a simple linear model\n- independently analyze data with the computer software R-Commander" . .

"The Environmental Sciences master's programme in Wageningen has its roots in the natural, technological and social sciences. Students will gain insight into the socio-economic causes and the characteristics of pollution and degradation of the natural environment, including the effects on human beings, the atmosphere, ecosystems and other organisms. This two-year programme is based on an interdisciplinary approach. Students learn to develop analytical tools and models, as well as technologies, socio-political arrangements and economic instruments to prevent and control the wicked environmental and sustainability issues like climate change, biodiversity loss and resource depletion."@en . .
