This subject introduces and describes the basic concepts of statistics, starting with the descriptive statistics of one or more variables, passing through probability theory, the concept of random variable and probability distributions. In addition, in view of their growing importance, time series (data characteristic of digitisation processes), bibliometric indicators, library quality indicators and index numbers will be introduced. The statistical software R and its various applications will also be introduced.
