Course objectives
The aim is at the probability theory and its application in the evaluation of experimental data, in particular, in the statistical estimates and testing of hypotheses. The skills are used in planning experiments.
Syllabus
  • Probability, random variables. Random vector, statistical dependence. Central limit theorem. Multidimensional normal distribution. Standard probability distributions and their relationships. Statistical estimates, maximum likelihood, least squares. Position of an unknown symmetrical distribution. Linear model for multiple unknowns. Nonlinear model, numerical minimization. Statistical tests. Pearson and Kolmogorov method.
