Viviamo nel “big data age”, qualunque attività umana, qualsiasi azione, produce dati. Questo corso affronta le diverse fasi dell’indagine statistica, dal campionamento statistico all’utilizzo degli strumenti inferenziali per ottenere stime, puntuali o intervallari, e per verificare la plausibilità di ipotesi su una o più caratteristiche della popolazione oggetto di studio. In altre parole, lo scopo formativo del corso è di condurre lo studente verso una matura capacità di sintesi e di astrazione nella formalizzazione e nell’analisi dei problemi economico-gestionali attraverso l’impiego degli strumenti di statistica inferenziale ritenuti più adeguati agli obiettivi di analisi e alle caratteristiche dei dati raccolti. Today, we live in a big data age where all human activities and actions produce data. In this course, we will trace the steps of statistical surveys: from statistical sampling, to the inferential tools used for interval and point estimates and for verifying the plausibility of hypotheses on one or more characteristics of the population studied. In other words, the scope of this course is to provide the students with a sensible synthetic ability as well as with a mature competence of abstraction when formalizing and analyzing the economic and managerial problems with the most appropriate tools.
An excellent online course offered by edX: how it works
edX courses consist of weekly learning sequences. Each learning sequence is composed of short videos interspersed with interactive learning exercises, where students can immediately practise the concepts from the videos. The courses often include tutorial videos that are similar to small on-campus discussion groups, an online textbook, and an online discussion forum where students can post and review questions and comments to each other and teaching assistants. Where applicable, online laboratories are incorporated into the course.
edX offers certificates of successful completion and some courses are credit-eligible. Whether or not a college or university offers credit for an online course is within the sole discretion of the school. edX offers a variety of ways to take courses, including verified courses where students have the option to audit the course (no cost) or to work toward an edX Verified Certificate (fees vary by course). edX also offers XSeries Certificates for completion of a bundled set of two to seven verified courses in a single subject (cost varies depending on the courses).
