The aim of this course is to introduce students with main notions of mathematical statistics, data analysis in program R and various statistical procedures and methods. It includes descriptive statistics and main characteristics of a random sample. We will discuss the main methods in statistical inference: parameter estimation, hypothesis testing, association and correlation analysis and finally regression analysis.
Nonparametric and robust statistical methods will be shortly introduced. We will pay our special attention to the connection between probability theory and mathematical statistics. The program R will be used for practical exercises.
Tasks:
1) to provide in-depth knowledge of mathematical statistics, which will allow an understanding of the nature of the formulas and appropriate procedures and will therefore make it easier to explain this knowledge to pupils.
2) to raise awareness of the key concepts of mathematical statistics.
3) to teach choosing the appropriate methods

The course examines knowledge of the main theories of psychological science, their findings on the foundations of the human mental and behavioral processes. Students are introduced to theories that allow understanding how human cognitive, affective and behavioral processes work, using problems and situations typical of law science. The processes of the human psyche and behavior are considered both at the level of individuals and intergroups. In the course, the main skills necessary for solving various communication problems in the investigator's work are learned.
The aim of the course: to acquire basic knowledge about the basic processes of the human psyche and behavior and their relationship with law science.
Course tasks:
1) get to know and understand the main theoretical knowledge of psychological science about the human psyche and behavior;
2) learn to analyze human mental and behavioral processes using the theories of psychological science;
3) learn practical skills to use
The aim of bachelor thesis is to demonstrate ability to apply theoretical knowledge and empirical research methods in research. In developing the Bachelor's thesis, the student is based on the knowledge and practical skills acquired during the studies, as well as using the information and practical experience gained during the internship. Bachelor's thesis tasks:
1. to work independently with statistical information sources, to compile and analyze scientific literature,
2. choose appropriate research methods,
3. to carry out practical research, analyze and interpret the obtained results within the framework of the Bachelor Thesis,
4. to present and defend conclusions and proposals of scientific value.
Bachelor's thesis and its defense is divided into several stages:
1. development of a research project and presentation of a Bachelor's thesis in the 5th or 7th semesters;
2. Development and presentation of the final bachelor's thesis in the 6th or 8th semester.
Bachelor thesis writing
Paleography is a discipline of history that explores writing and handwriting techniques as historical phenomena. The knowledge acquired in this study allows researchers from different sciences to read handwritten texts created during different periods of European and Latvian history.
The aim of the course is the acquisition of paleographic knowledge and skills required for independent work in archives and libraries with handwriting stored in these memory institutions.
The tasks of the course are
1) to present the students with paleography theory and practices that enable them to learn and to improve different methods of reading handwriting and to familiarise themselves with manuscript patterns,
2) but also to discover them as sources of cultural, social, religious, political and other history. Samples of the manuscript corpus, the reading of which and the preparation of transcription of the contents will be dedicated to practice sessions, have been created mainly in Latvia
