Course syllabus
1) Review of probability and statistics: random variables; Gaussian distribution; point estimation of the parameters of a probability distribution; the linear regression model and the least squares method for estimating parameters; the principal component analysis.
2) Reference distribution, the concepts of blocking and randomization. Hypothesis testing and confidence intervals.
3) The ANOVA technique for comparing k different treatments in a completely randomized design and in a randomized block design.
4) The 2-level factorial design
5) The fractional factorial design
6) The split-plot design (if we have time enough)

Prerequisites for admission
Basic knowldge in mathematics and linear algebra is required. It is desirable to have acquired the notions of probability and random variables, but not strictly necessary because they will be briefly recalled during the lectures.
Teaching methods
The lectures relating to the theory will mainly be carried out on the blackboard without the use of slides.
The examples of statistical analyses, presented during the lectures,, will be developed through the use of the statistical software R (which is open source).
Students are invited to intervene to express their doubts, in addition, the professor will propose questions and exercises to be carried out in the classroom, in order to make the lessons more interactive and useful.
