Description
To provide students with the theoretical understanding of inferential statistics necessary for the statistical analysis of data from sensory tests. General research question: to extract interpretable patterns from sensory measurements in order to make sound decisions.
The lessons will address the needs of each program track through relevant examples and applications.
