- Course objectives
- The goal of this course is to explain basic procedures in the probability theory and mathematical statistics, especially in application to experimental data treatment and stating and testing of the hypotheses.
- Learning outcomes
- Student are able upon finishing this course to:
- describe a random variable (RV) with several characteristics;
- give properties of a combination of RVs (average, maximum);
- name several discrete and continuous distributions of RVs, roughly characterize them and bring them into the context of experimental practice;
- specify basic properties of a good statistic estimate;
- use a maximum likelihood method for an estimate of a specific parameter;
- apply a linear model to a chosen problem;
- conduct a hypothesis test of a match between experimental and theoretical distribution - 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.
