Statistical Data Analysis and Experiment DesignLaajuus (5 cr)

Objective

The aim of this course is that you learn to design an experiment and make statistical data analysis. Furthermore, we will look at method for design of experiments depending on multiple variables. Within this course we make use of software tools. The tools used will be specified in the implementation plan. The goal is to learn use software for
• Opening files
