Class slides and materials used during the laboratory sessions will be distributed through the UniStudium e-larning platoform
Educational objectives This course will introduce students to the most relevant statistical methods for business analysis.

In particular, theoretical lectures will be focused on the presentation of regression models for the analysis of economic and business data.

Specific attention will be also devoted to on empirical applications. Every week there will be a practical laboratory session in which students will apply concepts learned during the theoretical lectures, using statistical software.
Prerequisites This course requires basic knowledge of descriptive and inferential statistics and probability theory.
Teaching methods Face-to-face lessons completed with practical laboratory activities
Other information Attending students are to complete some (non-compulsory) take-home assignments
Learning verification modality Written examination

After grading, the instructor reserves the right to invite the student for an additional oral examination.
