| Course description |
|
This course provides students with basic knowledge of statistical processing necessary for reading research papers on experiments and field surveys in agriculture and related fields. In this course, we focus especially on the analysis used in the fields of agriculture, life science, and ecology. In this course, students will learn how to take comparison targets in experiments and field surveys, how to calculate the necessary number of samples, and so on, through exercises using statistical software R, with the aim of acquiring the ability to perform a series of processes from planning experiments and observations to the minimum necessary statistical analysis on their own. The lecture will be provided via online. |
| Expected Learning |
|
To understand the basics of statistics as a basic subject necessary for conducting research in agriculture and related fields, and to understand how to process data and interpret the results using statistical analysis methods. The following three points are the achievement criteria. 1. Understand the basics of statistics 2. To acquire statistical methods for processing phenomena related to agriculture and related fields. 3. To be able to judge and evaluate the validity of the results obtained from the analysis. Corresponding criteria in the Diploma policy: See the curriculum maps on the university website (Three Policies). https://www.tuat.ac.jp/campuslife_career/campuslife/policy/ |
| Course schedule |
|
This course will provide an overview of the world of elementary statistics over four lessons. Lesson 1, Introduction to Statistics (Descriptive statistics, Probability distributions, Importance of random sampling, Experimental design, Estimation, and Confidence interval) Lesson 2, Introduction to Likelihood (Learn likelihood and regression analysis with exercises using GLM) Lesson 3, Introduction to Statistical tests (Representative test methods will be introduced, and the meaning of p-value and its difference from effect size will be discussed) Lesson 4, Statistical modeling (GLMM, Hierarchical modeling, Bayesian statistics, Computational statistics) After each lecture, a small assignment will be given to improve the understanding (deadline is until two weeks after the lecture). Students are required to submit all assignment, but the content of these will not be reflected in the grade. Most of the grade will be based on the content of the final report given after all lectures. |
| Prerequisites |
|
In addition to the school hours (16 hours), prepare and review the lecture referring to the distributed lecture materials and reference books. Understanding mathematics provided at Japanese high school and basic knowledge about statistical software R. In completing this course, students will spend the standard amount of time as specified by the University. |

| Message from instructor(s) |
| The final goal of this lecture is getting skills to generate sample data based on their own models, select appropriate statistical methods, and analyze them. The progress and the goal may be adjusted according to the students' understanding. |
