The assessment focuses on the correct use and understanding of the statistical methods, the interpretation of the results as well as the use of the statistical software R.
The files resulting from the student's work must be submitted, all together, in a single file submitted, within the allotted time, on the partim 2 e-campus platform at the end of the exam.
The exam consists of a practical examination in R/R Markdown (statistical analyses), including questions on the good understanding of the theory (justification of choices, explaining techniques, interpreting results, ...).
During the examination, students can either work on their own laptop or on a university computer. The examination is an open book examination.
