Learning outcomes
- You will make an appropriate choice of an analytical method for a given experimental design, apply this method and present the results in an orderly fashion using appropriate software, including Excel and SPSS.
- You perform various uni- and multivariate linear and nonlinear regression methods, including model selection, and you engage in interpolation with reliability and detection limit (for calibration) and extrapolation with reliability (for standard addition) and interpret these results for a given data set.
- You understand and perform validation of measurement methods for continuous and nominal measurement values in order to advise on the method used.
- You perform correct and insightful calculations in the context of the laboratory, extracting from a more complex context the correct data and question to arrive at this calculation.
Content
The 'Data: statistics and visualization' section introduces you to regression analysis and explores the comparison of different measurement methods and how to statistically process the results. You will use both Excel and SPSS, practicing on assignments. You will also practice with clearly visualizing and organizing your data. At the end you make a final assignment individually and hand it in.
For the section 'Laboratory Competencies' you look back at the theory on mathematics and chemical calculation from year 1 and the lab experiences you have gained so far in the field of preparation and elaboration of practicals and the associated calculations. On the basis of these experiences we deepen your theoretical knowledge and calculation skills a little more, so that you are well equipped to prepare and carry out calculations in more complex experiments in year 2 and year 3. This part will be tested individually in writing by means of an examination with applied calculation problems such as you can expect in the laboratory in year 2 and 3.
