Goals & Objectives
Goals and Objectives
This University of Wisconsin-Madison professional development course is designed to provide non-statisticians with practical information needed to apply basic statistical tests to problems typically faced in analytical chemistry. Emphasis will be placed on the appropriate use of statistics and the interpretation of their results. It will focus on the efficient utilization of statistics; not abstract theory. Practical examples and problems drawn from scientific research will be used to illustrate statistical concepts and mathematical procedures. Upon completion of the course, the learner should be able to:
- define statistical terms commonly encountered in the literature;
- explain the use of hypothesis testing and significance testing;
- select the appropriate statistical test given the type of data presented;
- evaluate example problems to identify the type of variables involved and the most appropriate statistical test(s) to use; and
- interpret statistical output form of computer generated results and evaluate the relative importance of those outcomes.
Short Course Program General Information
Who should attend
The course is intended for scientists, researchers and technical personnel who deal with data. It is primarily for those who have little or no training in statistics and need a comprehensive review of the more commonly used inferential tests. It may be especially beneficial for those who have had negative experiences with previous statistical instruction.
