and to evaluate and interpret results from such investigations.
Upon completion of the course, the students should be able to
· use descriptive statistics to characterize experimental data.
· use statistical significance tests and regression techniques to evaluate and examine
differences in results between different sets of experimental data.
· plan, execute, evaluate and interpret results from series of experiments based on
factorized experimental designs.

I kursplan anges målgrupp och behörighet. Behörighet ska utgå från de förkunskaper som behövs för att tillgodogöra sig kursens innehåll.
Kursplaner och planerade kurstillfällen görs tillgängliga på en webbsida: kurstorg för forskarnivå, som även görs tillgänglig externt.
Forskarstuderande som önskar följa en kurs ska anmäla detta enligt anvisning på kurstorget.
Studerande som ges tillträde ska uppfylla de behörighetskrav som anges i kursplanen. Om fler önskar följa kursen än vad undervisningskapaciteten tillåter görs prioritering enligt nedan.
Den som institutionen utsett som kursansvarig beslutar om vilka som får delta i en kurs på forskarnivå, i enlighet med prioritetsordningen ovan.
Efter genomförd kurs och prov lämnar kursansvarig ett intyg med förslag på betyg till kursdeltagarna.
