Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will be made familiar with the fundamentals of random variables, mathematical statistics, analysis of index numbers, regression analysis and time series and will learn how to use its methods to solve economic problemes. After completion of this course students will be prepared to study economic topics working with uncertainty.

Prerequisites

Fundamentals of linear algebra and mathematical analysis.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course contains lectures that explain basic principles, problems and methodology of the discipline, and exercises that promote the practical knowledge of the subject presented in the lectures.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

COURSE-UNIT CREDIT: The course-unit credit is awarded on the following conditions:
- participation in seminars,
- submitting answers to theoretical questions,
- submitting answers to elaboration calculating projects.

EXAM: The exam has a written form.
In the first part of the exam student solves 4 examples within 70-80 minutes. (It is allowed to use recomended literature.)
In the second part of the exam student works out answers to 3 theoretical questions within 15 minutes.
The mark, which corresponds to the total sum of points achieved (max 100 points), consists of:
- points achieved in control tests, achieved to calculating projects elaboration; these points must be achieved in the semestr, in which is examen.
- points achieved by solving examples,
- points achieved by answering theoretical questions.

The grades and corresponding points:
A (100-90), B (89-83), C (82-76), D (75-69), E (68-60), F (59-0).

Aims

The objective of the course is to make students familiar with the fundamentals of random variables, mathematical statistics, analysis of index numbers, regression analysis and time series. They will be able to study economic topics working with uncertainty, and to solve problems related to these topics applying the methods of this theory.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance at lectures is not compulsory, but is recommended. Attendance at exercises is required and checked by the tutor. An excused absence of a student from seminars can be compensated for by submitting solution of alternate exercises.
