Statistics
Part of Module P1 in the LMU master's program Evolution, Ecology and Systematics
Responsible person for this module: Prof. Dirk Metzler
Please make sure that you are enrolled in the moodle site of the course as important information, e.g. on exam dates, will be communicated over moodle. Please find the contents description of this course in the module catalogue of the master's program EES.
Teaching Materials
Material will be updated during the course. Please note that the handouts will not form a complete script. They only summarize the contents of the slides shown during the lecture. You will need to complement the handouts with your own notes during the lecture and read text books.

Solving these exercise problems is an effective way to improve your understanding of the lecture contents. We will discuss your solution during the exercise sessions. Before a particular exercise is discussed in an exercise session, you can already ask questions on the exercises in the moodle forum and give each other some hints, but please make sure that you do not tell too much in the moodle forums, so that all others have the chance to find their own solutions. It is also highly recommended that you sit together and develop exercise solutions in collaboration, but then everyone should in the end write down the solution individually in their own words.
