Applied Statistics Best Practice

 

DESCRIPTION

Applied Statistics introduces the students to the use of basic statistical concepts in agribusiness applications. This course emphasizes topics on sampling and non-parametric methods which isn't covered in Basic Statistics course. In sampling topic, students learn to plan, execute, and evaluate of sample surveys. The sampling topic covers: simple random, stratified, and cluster sampling; multistage and systematic sampling; questionnaire design; cost functions; and optimal designs. The students must organize the team, perform, and analyze actual sample surveys. Nonparametric topic covers concepts of parametric and nonparametric statistics, hypothesis tests, ranks, order statistics, classical distribution-free tests. In the end of the course, the students will conduct a real life survey, analyze collected data and present the survey result.
