Università Roma Tre

The main objective of the course is to provide the fundamental tools for the application of statistical methods to the analysis of economic data. The theoretical part will be supported by an applied part devoted to the analysis of real data sets by means of the software R. One lecture per week will be held in the computer lab. A student that has completed the course should be practiced in the application of advanced statistical methods, should be able to interpret the results of a statistical analysis, and should be aware of limitations and possible sources of errors in the analysis.
