General description
Environmental studies imply usually large amounts of experimental data, whose analysis should allow extracting the relevant information hidden behind them. This subject introduces some core advanced multivariate statistical techniques. They will allow a reduction in the dimensionality of the datasets and the discovery/description of sample groups. Commonly-available computing power simplify the treatment of large databases, which are quite frequent nowadays and, therefore, this subject is of general interest for environmentalists.
Contingency plan
1. Modifications to the contents
No changes
2. Methodologies
*Teaching methodologies that are maintained
Collaborative learning (90% of the final score). The students work in small groups to achieve a common goal under the supervision of the teacher. This cooperative process improves the learning experience of all members of the group. The goal is a practical project that consists of the statistical analysis of a real data set related to environmental data using statistical computer software. This learning activity is strongly based on the student’s autonomous work
*Teaching methodologies that are modified
Guest lecture / keynote speech (5% of the final score). They will given using TEAMS in the time slot the subject is asigned in the official calendar. Attendance and active involvement are highly recommended
