BBT 254STATISTICAL MODELING TECHNIQUES AND APPLICATIONS IN NATURAL SCIENCES2 + 14th Semester3

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Course Level Bachelor's Degree
Course Type Elective
Course Objective To give information about the development processes of natural sciences from past to present, to gain experience by introducing general concepts, theories and objectives. Modeling spatial, temporal and magnitude/severity relationships in natural sciences using statistical methods, increasing the motivation and experience of the participants by interpreting the modeling results both in their own and other fields. To provide participants with the ability to think interdisciplinary and collaborate with researchers in other disciplines, to provide analytical thinking, critical analysis and interpretation skills. To provide participants with predictions about the future of natural sciences, to provide information about statistical methods that are frequently used in international studies but not yet widely used at the national level.
Course Content To emphasize the importance of sampling and model design, to obtain statistical model parameters and to use these parameters to predict unknown properties of the problem under study. To interpret the statistical modeling methods used in natural sciences together with expert instructors, to show examples of their application throughout the country and to popularize their use. To introduce discrete distributions (binomial, Poisson, geometric and negative binomial), continuous distributions (normal, exponential, gamma, inverse gamma) and extreme value distributions (Weibull, Gumbel, Pareto, Frechet, generalized Pareto, power law, Frechet, Burr) used in natural sciences and to give detailed information about the applications of these distributions. To explain the analytical processes for the use of simple and multiple linear regression models; logistic and conditional logistic regression models; Poisson, negative binomial, zero-inflated regression models; classification and regression tree from rule-based methods; artificial neural networks from empirical methods for modeling the factors affecting the distribution and productivity of living species. To use Markov chains, Poisson and combined Poisson processes, which are stochastic processes applied to time-dependent data, in modeling the magnitude, number and recurrence periods of earthquakes, forest fires, floods and landslides. To demonstrate the application of all the methods to be used in the fields of natural sciences to be explained during the training on real data and to provide the ability to interpret the results obtained. To provide the participants with the ability to use these software by solving statistical models to be used in the fields of natural sciences with open source and limited time software. To show the use of statistical modeling techniques in different disciplines and to provide the participants with a broader perspective of the related topics.
