Faculty: Faculty of Engineering, LTH
Decided by: PLED I
Date of Decision: 2023-04-14
Main field: Technology.
Compulsory for: B3, BME3, K3, N3
Language of instruction: The course will be given in Swedish
The course is intended to give the student the basics in mathematical modelling of random variation and an understanding of the principles behind statistical analysis. It shall also give the students a toolbox containing the most commonly used models and methods, as well as the ability to use these in practical situations. The emphasis lies on models and methods for analysis of experimental data and measurement errors.
The course fills two purposes, providing a fundamental knowledge of mathematical statistics, as well as giving a foundation for further studies.
The fundamental knowledge is essential to those who, in their professional lives, will not necessarily be involved in statistical analyses on a daily basis, but who, on occasion, will be expected to perform basic statistical tests and present the results to their colleagues. They will also be expected to be able to read and assess the analyses of others.
The course shall also give a basis for further studies, particularly in design of experiments and methods for multidimensional data (Chemometrics).
Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must
Competences and skills

Judgement and approach
For a passing grade the student must
The basis in probability theory and inference, confidence intervals, statistical methods such as design of experiments and regression analysis. Applications: measurement value analysis, different types of errors and their propagation; comparisons of means and variations; concepts and methods for quality control, estimations of proportions; regression analysis, calibration; factorial designs, optimization of experimental parameters, response surfaces. Applications in chemical and biotechnical engineering are of particular interest.
Grading scale: TH - (U,3,4,5) - (Fail, Three, Four, Five)
Assessment: Written exam, computer exercises, project report and computational ability test.
The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.
