Mathematical Statistics
Freestanding course
About the course
The purpose of the course is that the student develops knowledge and gain basic skills in statistical models in order to handle the stochastic variations and also be familiar with some data analysis methodologies, which are based on probability theory, for instance, parameter estimate, correlation and regression analysis, hypothesis testing.

The Course contains the following moments:
- Probability theory: classical probability, Stochastic variables in one and higher dimension, some well-known distributions, Central limit theorems, Approximations
- Inference theory: Sampling, Descriptive statistics, Point-wise estimate, Confidence Interval, Comparison in pair and for independent samples, Hypothesis testing, Analysis of variance
