Some basic statistical tools are presented and investigated using R freeware and data from pedestrian trajectories.
The objective is to propose useful methods allowing to analyze data or to calibrate a model, as well as to learn how to use R.
The course is organized in three sessions of two hours:
- The first session is about basic descriptive tools for univariate and bivariate data (such as histogram, kernel density, measures of location/variability, boxplot, covariance, correlation, simple linear regression, qqplot, Bootstrap methods).
- The second session concerns descriptive analysis of multivariate data: Principal component analysis and Multiple linear regression / Estimation by least-square.
- The last session is about parametric statistic: Estimator (definition and property); Punctual estimation of parameters (by maximal likelihood and Bayesian approach); Information criteria (AIC, BIC, likelihood ratio...); Precision of the estimations (confidence and credible intervals); Tests of hypothesis.
Participants are requested to bring their own laptops.
