Aim
The course aims to give the students skills in statistical modeling on larger data sets linked to the logistics area. The students get to develop their skills in applying the theoretical knowledge they have acquired in previous courses on large, unstructured data sets.Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- Demonstrate an understanding of the key concepts and ideas in statistical modeling on larger datasets - Describe suitable statistical methods for using on larger datasets relevant in logistics - Choose and use appropriate statistical methods for answering a logistics related problem, and report the findings in a suitable and compelling format - Critically evaluate statistical materials and methods and reason about their limitations - Reflect on ethical aspects and considerations when collecting and analyzing larger datasetsContent
- Key concepts in statistical modeling with a focus on larger datasets - Statistical methods relevant for statistical modeling in logistics - Opportunities and limitations of different statistical methods - Reporting statistical findings in a compelling way - Ethical aspects on collecting and analyzing dataOrganisation
The course consists of one or more project assignments together with lectures and a written exam.Literature
See course homepage.Examination including compulsory elements
One or more project tasks (part A). Written examination (part B). The final grade is determined by the grade on the written exam.The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers on educational support due to disability.
