Development objectives

The course objective is to provide a quantitative analysis methodology based upon observation, findings and elaboration of collective phenomena. In particular the problematics of analyzing data will be discussed, as well as the design and creation of surveys and experiments in diverse applica-ble sectors for descriptive, interpretational and decision-making ends.

Syllabus

Statistics and its applications: content and applications of statistics, the origin and the evolution of statistics, the statistical sources and the graphical repre-sentations.
