Anotace
The course offers a more detailed view of key concepts of mathematical statistics, e.g., a general concept of random variables, expectations, conditioning, (multivariate) normal distribution, and asymptotics. These concepts facilitate the understanding of the reasons behind validity and properties of the majority of statistical methods. A deep understanding of these concepts enables the students to assess the validity of a given statistical method and modify it, if needed, for multifaceted practice. The course is suitable for students with a deeper interest in mathematical statistics, including those who are planning or beginning doctoral studies in statistics and related fields. It can also serve as a (rather ambitious) way of gaining an overview for students preparing themselves for final exams.
Výstupy z učení
After the course, the students understand general concepts and properties of random variables, expectations, conditioning, (multivariate) normal distribution, asymptotics and the maximum likelihood method. A deep understanding of these concepts enables the students to assess the validity of a given statistical method and modify it, if needed, for multifaceted practice.
