Introduction
TRAINING OVERVIEW
This course focuses on the techniques and applications statistical data analysis. Typically, focuses on understanding the data, empirical model building using observational data for characterization, estimation, inference and prediction. Participants will study the theory, principles and methods for statistical analysis of observational data. Regression analysis, Parameter Estimation, and Testing of Hypotheses will be the primary tools to be discussed. Participants will develop empirical model building skills and be able to employ the models for characterization, estimation and prediction purposes. While statistical techniques are emphasized throughout, the course has a strong engineering and management orientation. Guidelines are given throughout the course for selecting the proper type of statistical technique to use in a wide variety of product and nonproduct situations.
Objective
On successful completion of the course you will be able to:
- To give the participants a sound understanding of the principles and the basis for applying the basic principles of modern statistical methods for analyzing the data and make the correct inferences.
- To perform data analysis and/or data investigation for what perspective.
- To use data analysis results and turns it in attractive presentations for decision making processes.
- To define the key concepts in Statistics and Sampling
- To enable the attendees to grasp the advanced information in various aspects of basic data analysis.
- To present different techniques of statistical data analysis
- To introduce the concept of regression analysis and statistical modeling to participants.
- To illustrate study cases for different applications of statistical data analysis
