Course Objective

The aim of this course is to teach students the effective use of frequency curves in the statistical modeling process by providing them with the ability to recognize, select and apply appropriate distribution models on quantitative data sets.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   OC-1: Ability to analyze the basic structure and distribution properties of data sets using descriptive statistical methods. (OP-2, OP-5)
2   OC-2: Explain the theoretical basis of continuous probability distributions and apply the density functions of these distributions for modeling purposes. (OP-3, OP-4)
3   OC-3: To be able to classify the basic types and transition types of the Pearson distribution family and to perform comparative analysis in the process of selecting the appropriate distribution type. (OP-2, OP-4).
4   OC-4: To be able to interpret the process of determining the distribution type through the Craig diagram using the theoretical structure of frequency curves. (OP-3, OP-5,)
5   OC-5: Ability to perform distribution fit analyses on real data sets and report this process via spreadsheet software. (OP-4, OP-5, OP-6)
