| Module Description: |
This module deals with statistical methods used to extract useful information from chemical data in an industrial setting. The learner will develop skills in exploring and analysing data sets using a software package. They will also gain experience in interpreting and communicating the results of statistical analyses. |
| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to: |
| LO1 |
Review the pertinent issues relating to Data Analytics. |
| LO2 |
Explore data sets and use probability distributions to model random variables. |
| LO3 |
Recognise experimental design models and analyse associated sets of data. |
| LO4 |
Perform correlation and regression analysis. |
| LO5 |
Interpret the results of statistical analyses performed by a software package and communicate the results. |
| Pre-requisite learning |
Module Recommendations
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named MTU module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s).

Incompatible Modules
These are modules which have learning outcomes that are too similar to the learning outcomes of this module. You may not earn additional credit for the same learning and therefore you may not enrol in this module if you have successfully completed any modules in the incompatible list. |
| No incompatible modules listed |

Module Content & Assessment
| Indicative Content |
|
Data Analytics
Introduction to data analytics. Key terminology and technologies, Structured data types, data integrity, data privacy and security. Investigate how data analytics techniques are used in the real-world setting, e.g. case study of Big Data
|
|
Statistical Interrogation of Data and Sampling
Introduction: types of data, descriptive and inferential statistics. Probability distributions (discrete and continuous, Binomial and Normal). Sampling approaches (Random, Systematic, Convenience, Cluster, and Stratified). Emphasis on random sampling and the importance of this assumption for the statistical techniques used. Sampling distributions.
|
|
Experimental Data Analysis
Statistics as part of the scientific method, data analysis protocol. Observational (vs) experimental data. Confidence intervals –incorporating sample size estimates for precision. The hypothesis-testing framework, one and two sample tests – mean and proportion – power and sample size estimates. The fundamentals of experimental design, one-way and two-way ANOVA, randomised block design, full-factorial design and post-hoc testing. Gauge R&R.
|
|
Regression
Simple Linear Regression & Correlation. Assumptions, interpreting coefficients, model fitting, model diagnostics.
|
|
Software Analysis
The use of statistical software in the analysis and interpretation of chemical spectral data, based on the application of the various statistical procedures dealt with in the module, will be illustrated through a suitable package e.g. Minitab, R, JMP.
