The course will present concepts for the statistical analysis of data with a particular focus on time series data, i.e., data, where the sequence in which they occur contains part of the information. After basic concepts for the characterization of distributions (mean value, standard deviation, higher moments) and some introduction into statistical inference, different aspects of time dependence will be discussed. A central message will be that with a finite amount of data one can never prove anything, and that data analysis therefore is done in term of hypothesis testing and rejection of a null.
