Module codeCSMM181
Module lecturers:Prof John Coggan
Module credits:30

The module provides both an overview of data analysis methods, an in-depth introductionto aspects of  sampling theory and statistical inference, and process mass balancing  which are relevant for mineral processing. This module imparts valuable knowledge of essential techniques for understanding the information contained in data obtained by offline (or inline/online) analysis of samples from mineral processing unit operations. . Skills in sampling and data analysis are useful during the individual research project  after the taught part of the MSc Mineral Processing programme and in later life.
The module is linked to  module CSMM434 and forms part of the specialist modules on  the MSc in Minerals Processing.
 
As a prerequisite to fully engage with the module, students are expected to have a basic appreciation of statistics and mathematics. Guidance on appropriate self-study to improve knowledge in these areas can be given if desired.
