Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

COURSE COMPLETION

The course-unit credit is awarded on the following conditions (max. 40 points):
- preparation of semester assignments (the topic of the assignments will be specified during the semester).

The exam (max. 60 points)
- has a written form with the possibility of using computer technology and consists of four computational examples and a theoretical question.

The grade, which corresponds to the total sum of points achieved (max 100 points), consists of:
- points achieved in semester assignments (max. 40 points),
- points achieved by solving examples (max. 51 points),
- points achieved by answering theoretical questions (max. 9 points).

The grade and corresponding points:
A (100-90), B (89-80), C (79-70), D (69-60), E (59-50), F (49-0).

Attendance at lectures is not mandatory but is recommended. 

Aims

The objective of this course is to familiar students with ideas and methods of point and interval estimates, the most used parametric and nonparametric tests, good fit tests, an analysis of variance, a categorial analysis, linear and nonlinear multiple regression models and time series analysis.
Students will be made familiar with the methods of mathematical statistics, regression analysis, and time series analysis and will learn how to use the respective methods when solving economics problems. After completing this course, students will be able to use statistical tools as a basis for data analysis in the management of individual company activities.
