Kursus resuméThe course is a 5-day course with the main objective of being a starting point to understand and start using several basic tools for data analysis and statistics. The course offers a perfect platform for students and researchers to start handling and managing the scientific data by themselves. Nowadays, many PhD projects include data handling and Chemometrics. The course gives a first impression about the possibilities of R and MATLAB, as well as an introduction to statistics and Chemometrics

Undervisningsform
- Teaching: the basis of the course teaching will be done by lectures in powerpoint + examples with the computer. The students will be able to follow all the master exercises in their own computers. - Learning: Apart from the exercises presented at class, the students will be given several exercises that they must solve individually in the final report. - Educational approaches: The background of the students may be totally different: Chemistry, Food Science, Technical careers, etc. The course may be the basis for the students to start using R, MATLAB and some Chemometric tools in their own future job and research.
 
Målbeskrivelse
Knowledge, skills, competences:
- MATLAB and R interfaces: They will be able to "move" by themselves in the most important utilities and windows in MATLAB and R interfaces.
- Chemometrics: They will be able to apply the basic Chemometric tools: Principal Component Analysis and Partial Least Squares regression.
- Statistics: The students will learn how to apply different statistics methods by using R interface.
