Course objectives
The main goal of the course is to become familiar with some basic principles of testing statistical hypotheses base on Wald principle, likelihood and score principle connecting the statistical theory with MC simulations, implementation in R, geometry, and statistical graphics; to understand and explain basic principles of parametric statistical inference for categorical data; to implement these techniques in R language; to be able to apply them to real data.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able:
to understand principles of likelihood and statistical inference for discrete data;
to select suitable probabilistic and statistical model in statistical inference for discrete data;
to build up and explain suitable simulation study for selected statistical test or confidence intervals for discrete data;
to build up and explain suitable statistical test for discrete data;
to apply statistical inference for discrete data;
to implement methods of statistical inference for discrete data in R.

Teacher's information
The lessons are usually in Czech or in English as needed, and the relevant terminology is always given with English equivalents.

The target skills of the study include the ability to use the English language passively and actively in their own expertise and also in potential areas of application of mathematics.

Assessment in all cases may be in Czech and English, at the student's choice.

The course is also listed under the following terms Spring 2014, Spring 2015, Spring 2016, Spring 2017, spring 2018, Spring 2019, Spring 2021, Spring 2022, Spring 2023, Spring 2024, Spring 2025.
