Course objectives
Descriptive statistics. Probability space, independent events, conditional probability. Random variables, their distribution and characteristics. Law of large numbers, central limit theorem. Upon completing this course, students will be able to perform basic statistical data set analysis. Furthermore, students will understand and will be able to apply important concepts of calculus of probabilities.
Syllabus
  • Descriptive statistics. Basic and sample file, scalar and vector variables, functional and numerical characteristics of these variables. Theory of probability. Empirical law of large numbers, axiomatic definition of probability, basic properties of probability, classical, geometrical and conditional probability, stochastic independet events. Random variables and random vectors, discrete and continuous distributions. Transformations of random variables. Quantil, expected value, variance, covariance. Law of large numbers, central limit theorem.
