Amcanion cyffredinol

AIMS: The module will introduce students to the ideas of probability and statistical inference, and demonstrate the application of those ideas. The overall aim is to provide a good foundation in statistical methods and techniques. There is a strong focus on implementing these techniques in Microsoft Excel.

Cynnwys cwrs

The course will include statistical techniques, which will include, sampling methods, hypothesis testing, regression and correlation analysis. It will also cover the use of robustness testing, and the analysing of time series and panel data. There will be instruction on data management and the use of the statistical tools within Excel.

Sgiliau pwnc penodol

  • Analysis, deduction and induction. Economic reasoning is highly deductive, and logical analysis is applied to assumption-based models. However, inductive reasoning is also important. The development of such analytical skills enhances students' problem-solving and decision-making ability.
  • Quantification and design. Data, and their effective organisation, presentation and analysis, are important in economics. The typical student will have some familiarity with the principal sources of economic information and data relevant to industry, commerce, society and government, and have had practice in organising it and presenting it informatively. This skill is important at all stages in the decision-making process.
  • Problem solving and critical analysis: analysing facts and circumstances to determine the cause of a problem and identifying and selecting appropriate solutions.
  • Numeracy: the use of quantitative skills to manipulate data, evaluate, estimate and model business problems, functions and phenomena.
  • Conceptual and critical thinking, analysis, synthesis and evaluation.
  • Self-management: a readiness to accept responsibility and flexibility, to be resilient, self-starting and appropriately assertive, to plan, organise and manage time.
