Course description
Students obtain basic knowledge of statistical processing necessary for reading experiments related to agriculture and related fields. Students then improve ability for laboratory experiment, field survey, and reading papers. Especially, topics such as agricultural science, applied life science, ecology can be included. Planning and designing experiments and monitoring were also included in this class. Applications of specific statistical software will be demonstrated in this class.
Expected Learning
Understand the basics of statistics as basic subjects necessary for conducting research in agriculture and related fields, understand the processing of data using interpretive statistical methods, and the interpretation method of results. The following three points are the reaching criteria.
