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.
Syllabus
  • Discrete probability distributions, maximum likelihood estimates of their parameters.
  • Principles of MC simulations in testing statistical hypotheses.
  • Design in one-, two-, and multi-sample experiments.
  • Design for contingency tables.
  • Design in linear regression model for categorical data.

Teacher's information
The lectures will take place online at MS Teams at the time of the normal lectures according to the schedule. Due to the possible low signal quality, I recommend students not to use the camera. Questions during the lecture will not be possible to ask by voice, but by chat.

The recording from the lecture will be uploaded in the IS sequentially and not in advance, so the recording will be uploaded only after the given lecture and before the next lecture. The recordnig does not have to contain a complete lecture, it is up to a teacher what to share from the record and share it with the students. What is a lecture recording? It can be a PDF of text written by the lecturer on the screen with an electronic pen during the lecture, and this can be supplemented by the voice (or voice and video) of the lecturer. Slides in PDF with TeX-ed text will always be available in the IS and will be shared only after the given lecture and before the next lecture.

Consultations about the lectures will take place through a discussion forum, where the lecturer / instructor moderates this discussion and new discussion forums established by students will not be taken into account. Discussion forums will be based on individual lectures and practicals (if the course has practicals) and about homework. Discussions by e-mail will not take place.

To obtain the credit, active participation in seminars is required (2 unexcused absences are allowed). An excused absence is considered exclusively an absence excused at the study department and uploaded into the information system in due time (within 5 working days from the date of the course). This is in accordance with the study regulations, where Article 9 paragraph (7) states that (7) The student is obliged to apologize in writing to the study department of the faculty within 5 working days from the date of the course being excused.

The course is also listed under the following terms Spring 2014, Spring 2015, Spring 2016, Spring 2017, spring 2018, Spring 2019, Spring 2020, Spring 2022, Spring 2023, Spring 2024, Spring 2025.
