Title
Statistical Methods for Software Engineers
ECTS
7.5
Purpose
To learn the students basic statistics, probability, statistical
methods and computer based tools for statistical analysis of
IT-systems.
Content
Descriptive statistics. Probability and stochastic variables.
Discrete distributions, the binomial and Poisson distributions.
Continuous distributions, the normal distribution. Random sampling
and sampling density. Point- and interval estimation. Statistical
models and test of hypothesis. Least squared concept, correlation
and regression, t-test, ANOVA and chi-squared. Power of tests,
small and large samples. Design of experiments, data sampling
and statistical analysis of hypotheses regarding evaluation of
IT-systems.
Learning and teaching approaches
Lectures, self-study and small problem solving. Two obligatory projects about basic statistics and statistical analysis of IT-systems.
Assessment method
Written and/or oral examination. Reference material permitted.
The projects will consider a part of the evaluation. The existing
grade scale will be used.
