Form of study
Prerequisites and co-requisites
The basis for studying this discipline is such academic disciplines as: "Economic Theory", "Higher Mathematics for Economists", "Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics for Economists", "Modern Information Technologies in Economics". In turn, knowledge in this discipline contributes to the successful completion of term papers. 1. Know the theoretical and methodological bases of economic theory, probability theory and mathematical statistics. 2. Have the skills to use software tools for data processing and visualization.
Course content
The program consists: module 1 "Descriptive Statistics", which examines methods of collection, registration of mass data, their primary processing: systematization and grouping, generalization and comparison using averages, absolute and relative values, as well as methods of evaluation and analysis variations, differentiations, concentrations and comparisons of structures in time and space; Module 2 "Analytical Statistics", which reveals methods for testing statistical hypotheses about the characteristics of the sample and the conformity of the empirical distribution to the theoretical, the significance of differences in averages and shares in comparable populations, as well as variances, random relationships; methods of analysis of development trends and seasonal fluctuations, index analysis.
