AUTONOMOUS, DISTRIBUTED AND PERVASIVE SYSTEMS-3

This is one of the three modules of the [PHD156-3] AUTONOMOUS, DISTRIBUTED AND PERVASIVE SYSTEMS course. The module deals with some computational statistics methods useful for the analysis of problems of interest in the field of computer science.

Regular and active participation in the teaching activities offered by the course will enable students to:

1. Knowledge and understanding:
1.1 To know some of the most important computational statistical methods for addressing problems of interest within the computer science field.

2. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding:
2.1 To know how to apply statistical methods.
2.2. To know how to apply autonomously the basic computational tools of the R environment.
2.3 To know how to use autonomously the R programming language to modify existing code or to write new code for data analysis.


3. Ability to judge:
3.1 To be able to select the most suitable statistical methods for the problem at hand.

4. Communication skills:
4.1 To be able to communicate the results to the various stakeholders.
4.2 To be able to interact with the lecturer and the other students during the theoretical lessons and practical applications.

5. Learning skills:
5.1 To be able to take lecture notes to integrate and clarify the content of the referral teaching material.
5.2 To be able to self evaluate by addressing the lecturer’s questions and solving exercises.
