Использование информационных технологий в преподавании статистики в гуманитарных вузах

Abstract

Incorrect application of statistical methods makes them a means of giving pseudoscientific declarations that can cause great harm not only science, but also quite specific patients. The practice of experimental research develops some ideas about how to statistical analysis, which are standard in the respective areas. In the last years, medicine and biology entered a new phase of its development. Accumulation of huge amounts of quantitative data and increased computing mathematization gives the availability of application the complex mathematical calculational methods in biology and medicine. The history of science reveals the following development steps due to creating the dominant methodology and the High knowledge level of the research subject: • empirical stage, characterized by the accumulation and description of facts, their partial systematization; • theoretical stage - the analysis and synthesis of evidence accumulated in the form of individual concept that combines a relatively consistent theory; • quantitative mathematical stage - based on accumulated facts investigated quantitative laws, mathematical models are studied phenomena and objects. For authors who are not familiar with the mathematical theory, but require statistical calculations, the most suitable is to use ready-made software statistical packages. With the proliferation of computers and computer networks it becomes easy and convenient.
