About the course

In this course you will learn state-of-the-art statistical modelling for the purpose of analysing industrial data. The course first presents the basics of relational databases and data manipulation techniques needed to prepare the data for analysis.An overview of the most popular statistical tools will be given. We will focus on the most powerful tool for the statistical data analysis called R, where you will learn how to use regression and ANOVA models for industrial data. Elements of probability theory and mathematical statistics will be provided as needed.

Modern industrial plants and environments measure and store all relevant production variables. In addition to observation, the data can also be obtained by experimentation.

The course provides fundamental elements of applied statistical analysis that can be used to analyse and model the data obtained from industrial plants, as well as elements of probability theory and mathematical statistics needed for a deeper understanding of methods and a reliable interpretation of the results of the analysis.

You will learn

  • to understand the common organization of industrial information systems
  • get an overview and understanding of relation database management systems and be able to do SQL queries to extract the data
  • to do relevant data manipulation and visualization for the purpose of explorative data analysis
  • mathematical understanding of the most fundamental concepts of statistics and probability theory.
  • analysis of variance (ANOVA), regression modeling, and applying statistical test to the data
  • how to correctly interpret the results of the statistical analysis.
