| Learning outcomes |
|
Make studenty familiar with the documents filed in laboratory working in one of the quality management systems. Provide students with simple statistical procedures on a computer to analyze experimental one-dimensional data and learn to work with software tools (Excel, Effivalidation). Teach students how to apply statistical tools in routine laboratory practice when handling chemical data.
After completing the course, students are able to orientate in the current system to ensure data quality and gain practical skills that are necessary for specialists ensuring quality control in chemical laboratories and institutions in the field of environmental protection. They are qualified to prepare the laboratory documentation. After passing the course, student are able to simply evaluate one-dimensional laboratory data, estimate uncertainties, parameters of location, dispersion and shape, to test the accuracy and consistency, and find outlier values, to extracted from the data the maximum amount of useful information. Students can work with analysis of variance and linear regression. They can apply the statistical resources in laboratory practice to solve common operational tasks, such as validation of methods. |
| Prerequisites |
|
Basic PC skills are required. There are no special requirements for students or the assumptions on the prior knowledge of statistics and mathematics. Students should be familiar with using a computer and basic software (eg Microsoft Office), and when working with text and graphs.
