Description and contextualization of the subject
This course is an introduction to the application of statistic and chemometric tools to the analysis of data obtained mainly, but not only, after chemical analysis of a large variety of environmental samples. Descriptive and inference statistics are briefly reviewed, and the most important multivariate techniques for pattern recognition, classification and regression are also deeply investigated. Rather than on the mathematical detail, the course focuses on understanding the basic concepts behind each technique, and on selecting the most appropriate tool in each specific situation. The theoretical basis of the techniques considered will be illustrated by the resolution of exercises and case studies.Teaching staff

Ordinary call: orientations and renunciation
The evaluation of this course will be of a mixed type. The final score will be obtained as the weighted average of the following sections: i) Lecture attendance (10%), bibliographic survey (20%), iii) practical tasks (30%) and iv) written examination (40%). A minimum score of 5.0 in each section will be required to pass the course. If the student waives the call, she/he will be graded as not presented.Extraordinary call: orientations and renunciation
The extraordinary examination will be carried out in similar conditions than the ordinary one. If the student passed with a minimum grade of 5.0 any activity of the course that was already evaluated in the ordinary call, those activities will be taken into account in the extraordinary one. If the student waives the call, she/he will be graded as not presented.Temary
