Learning outcomes of the course unit

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 economic problems. After completion of this course students will be prepared to use these methods in economic courses.

Prerequisites

Fundamentals of probability theory.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

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 theoretical questions and calculation projects solved on computer.

EXAM: The exam has a written form.
In the first part of the exam student solves 4 examples within 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,
- points achieved by submitting theoretical questions elaboration, and points achieved by submitting calculation projects on computer,
- points achieved by solving examples,
- points achieved by answerimg 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 fundamental ideas and methods used by these mathematical disciplines which enable students to apply this knowledge when solving problems related to the economic areas where these methods are used.

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.
