Due to the analytical nature in this course you should have your basic knowledge of statistics and statistical analysis. Finally minor scripting and programming skills (awk, tcl, c) are required as well as experience on using mathematical tools in Matlab, for instance. Prerequisites are not checked, but to take the course succesfully requires solid knowledge of these topics.

Exercises

This course has four to six exercises as indicated in the course schedule. Each of them has to be passed in order to be able to pass the course.

Course grade is based on exam result. There will be 5 questions to answer in the final exam. Exercise points will replace points for the worst answer (assuming that exercise points are higher).
