Analysis of Engineering Experiment

FSI-TAI-A Acad. year: 2025/2026 Summer semester

The course is aimed at the selected parts of mathematical statistics for stochastic modeling of the engineering experiments: regression models, regression diagnostics, multivariate methodsand design iof experiment. Computations are carried out using the software Minitab.

Language of instruction

English

Number of ECTS credits

5

Supervisor

Ing. Pavel Hrabec, Ph.D.

Department

Institute of Mathematics

Entry knowledge

Descriptive statistics, probability, random variable, random vector, random sample, parameters estimation, hypotheses testing, and regression analysis.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Course-unit credit requirements: active participation in seminars.
Exam: Presenting a assigned project.

 

Attendance at seminars is controlled and the teacher decides on the compensation for absences.

Aims

The course objective is to make students majoring in Mathematical Engineering and Physical Engineering acquainted with important selected methods of mathematical statistics used for a technical problems solution.
Students acquire needed knowledge from the mathematical statistics, which will enable them to evaluate and develop stochastic models of technical phenomena and processes based on these methods and realize them on PC.
