Main themes
The course must propose the theoretical bases of measure by defining the concepts of samples, population and distribution of measures as well as their main properties.
Introduction of hypothesis tests must lead to a critical analysis of data, estimation of errors and to determination of factors affecting measure. The notions of correlation, regression as well as the development of models will be introduced and applied to concrete cases found in current practice in laboratories.
Elementary introduction to experimental design will be seen to optimized the experimental processes.
Techniques to search for the optimal conditions and localization of extrema will be presented.

Learning outcomes
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 | - Bring the chemistry students to treat data linked to experimental data they acquired - Learn to ally the quality of results with economy of acquisition - Conceive and planify experiments - Acquire and treat results of experiments - Interpret results and develop models allowing to predict studied properties |
Content
The course gives an introduction to statistical concepts commonly used by chemists, both in the industrial and academic world. This course being an introduction, the goal is to give the student the necessary tools to deal with simple cases, and to give a sufficient basis to follow more advanced courses.
Central to the course is 'DATA'. The student will learn how to visualize data, characterize data, compare data, model data.
There is no basic knowledge required to take this course.
The course is given in the first semester in the form of 22.5 hours of lectures. Some exercises will be covered in class and all course material will be available on Moodle.

Teaching methods
- Lecture by slides (22.5h in Q1). The student may be asked to prepare the course at home based on the slides.
The content will then be discussed with the teaching staff to ensure that the content has been understood.
- Exercises to be done individually (without supervision) by the student - a discussion on the exercises is possible at each class.

Evaluation methods
- An exam will take place in January. The exam consists of a series of exercises to be solved by hand and on the computer using the reference software used during the course (JAMOVI and R Studio).
- A similar exam will be organized for the second session.
