Einführung in die Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung (iversity)

Einführung in die Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung (iversity)

Wieso hat uns Jakob Bernoulli das Glücksspiel neu erklärt? Was haben Fische mit Wahrscheinlichkeiten zu tun? Wann sind Drogenfahnder erfolgreich? Wer wissen will, wie man bei solchen Fragen zu guten Antworten gelangt, ist bei diesem MOOC genau richtig.

Ganz gleich in welcher Wissenschaftsdisziplin, Statistik ist das Schweizer Armeemesser für die Behandlung von vielen Zahlen – um daraus wenige Zahlen zu machen. Das klingt unspektakulär, hat aber schon so manchen Studierenden in den Human-, Wirtschafts- und Naturwissenschaften zur Verzweiflung gebracht. Dabei ist Statistik überall, in den alltäglichsten Situationen und den komplexesten Forschungsfragen.
In dieser Einführung kümmern wir uns um das Fundament der Statistik, die Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie. Das klingt schlimm, ist es aber nicht. Wir erfahren etwas über die männliche Sicht weiblichen Intellekts, antike Cassettenhüllen, gezinkte Würfel, Milchreis, Hochrisiko-Sportfeste und vieles mehr, das uns den Einstieg in die Welt der Wahrscheinlichkeit so leicht macht als sei die Statistik auf eine strenge Diät gegangen.
Lernergebnisse:
Am Ende des Kurses wirst Du die grundlegenden formalen Elemente der Wahrscheinlichkeit kennen. Du wirst verstanden haben, was sich Pierre Simon Laplace und Nikolaj Kolmogoroff unter dem Begriff Wahrscheinlichkeit vorgestellt haben. Du wirst mit bedingten Wahrscheinlichkeiten und dem Satz von Bayes umgehen können. Und schließlich wirst Du Dich in vielen Wahrscheinlichkeitsverteilungen zurechtfinden wie der Binomialverteilung, der Poissonverteilung, der hypergeometrischen Verteilung und der Normalverteilung.

Experimentation for Improvement (Coursera)

We are always using experiments to improve our lives, our community, and our work. Are you doing it efficiently? Or are you (incorrectly) changing one thing at a time and hoping for the best? In this course, you will learn how to plan efficient experiments - testing with many variables. Our goal is to find the best results using only a few experiments. A key part of the course is how to optimize a system.

Want to solve a murder mystery? What caused your computer to fail? Who can you trust in your everyday life? In this course, you will learn how to analyze and assess five common forms of inductive arguments: generalizations from samples, applications of generalizations, inference to the best explanation, arguments from analogy, and causal reasoning. The course closes by showing how you can use probability to help make decisions of all sorts.

A Crash Course in Causality: Inferring Causal Effects from Observational Data (Coursera)

We have all heard the phrase “correlation does not equal causation.” What, then, does equal causation? This course aims to answer that question and more! Over a period of 5 weeks, you will learn how causal effects are defined, what assumptions about your data and models are necessary, and how to implement and interpret some popular statistical methods. Learners will have the opportunity to apply these methods to example data in R (free statistical software environment).

Galileo dijo: "El Universo está escrito en lenguaje matemático y los caracteres son triángulos, círculos y otras figuras geométricas, sin las que es humanamente imposible entender una sola palabra". Para entender el Universo, es necesario plantear leyes que expliquen su comportamiento, como pueden ser las leyes de la gravedad, la propagación del calor, el electromagnetismo, la reproducción celular, el crecimiento poblacional, la propagación de las enfermedades, la variación de los precios de las acciones en la bolsa de valores, el comportamiento de las masas ante un conflicto, etcétera.

Designing, Running, and Analyzing Experiments (Coursera)

You may never be sure whether you have an effective user experience until you have tested it with users. In this course, you’ll learn how to design user-centered experiments, how to run such experiments, and how to analyze data from these experiments in order to evaluate and validate user experiences. You will work through real-world examples of experiments from the fields of UX, IxD, and HCI, understanding issues in experiment design and analysis.
