A suggested, very basic reference for data analysis:

Marilyn K. Pelosi, Sandifer Theresa M., Introduzione alla statistica, Mc-Graw Hill, 2005.
For the students attending the lectures, the discussion of a data analysis project will be allowed as alternative to the oral exam.
Lectures will start from practical examples to present also the theoretical aspects. Given the course aims, students are encouraged to participate actively to experiment the proposed methods and techiniques.
