Course detail
Statistical Software
FSI-0SS Acad. year: 2025/2026 Summer semester
The course is principally intended as a computer support for students taking up course Mathematics IV. The main purpose of this course is to introduce statistics software Minitab, and statistical functions of the Excel, which are used in lessons and research at faculty institutes and departments. The acquired pieces of knowledge can be used in semester and diploma projects.

Entry knowledge
Mastering basic methods of descriptive statistics, probability theory and mathematical statistics is assumed.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Course-unit credit requirements: Continuous active work at seminars.
Attendance at seminars is controlled and the teacher decides on the compensation for absences.
Aims
The course objective is to make students acquainted with programs Minitab and Excel, which serve as a tool for statistical and probability calculations. Students will learn how to use the software at the extent corresponding with the subject matter presented in the parallel course Mathematics IV so that they can carry out calculations needed for working out tasks assigned in this course.
Students will learn how to use statistical software Statgraphics and Statistica as well as how to use statistical analytic tools in common spreadsheets. They will understand better the subject matter of Matematics IV. They will also acquire implementation skills in a statistical data analysis.
