Centrum interdisciplinárních studií – Faculty of Philosophy and Science in Opava - Prerequisites
- There is no explicit assumption of having previously undertaken other courses related to the subject matter. The course is primarily aimed to provide support for current bachelor and master theses involved with observational themes. Students are recommended to contact their lector/adviser prior to their inscription to the course.
- Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
- fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics (programme FPF, P1703 Fyz4) (2)
- Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics (programme FPF, P1703 Fyz4) (2)
- Course objectives
- The course offers an overview of fundamental aspects in the field of observational data analysis with particular focus on regression analysis. Students are coached to solve problems that involve evaluation of experimentally obtained relations of functions of one or more variables. They are provided with theoretical and practical background for data modeling - linear and nonlinear regression, searching for extrema and roots of obtained relations, and statistical matching of predicted and measured function relations and distributions. Special attention is paid to practical applications of algorithms and to studying both their direct interpretation (e.g. in C++) and the possibility of high-level programming languages dealing with data processing (IDL), possibly also in relation to software for algebraic manipulations (Maple, Mathematica).
