Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Skills training
Learning outcomes
This course introduces students to selected statistical methods and software tools used in analytical chemistry for experimental design, method development and validation, and the processing and evaluation of experimental data. The course focuses on topics commonly encountered in research projects, doctoral studies, and scientific publishing.
The course develops an understanding of the basic concepts and principles of univariate and multivariate statistical data analysis and provides training in the application of these methods using appropriate software tools. Solving practical tasks and real-world problems forms an integral part of developing the ability to identify relationships and patterns hidden in data, which are essential for the correct interpretation of results.
Prerequisites
Statistical software and analytical tools will be used for data management and analysis. No prior knowledge of statistics or advanced mathematics is required.

Assessment methods and criteria
Written examination, Home assignment evaluation

The acquired skills in interactive statistical data analysis will be assessed through a written semester project completed using appropriate statistical software.
