Basics in mathematical statistics and computer science
Eligibility:
For single subject courses within Chalmers programmes the same eligibility requirements apply, as to the programme(s) that the course is part of.
Course specific prerequisites
Calculus, and an introductory course in statistics.
Aim
This course is intended as a second course in statistics, where
students should develop a deepened understanding of conditional probability,
principles of statistical modeling, and acquire skills in data
analysis. Theoretical definitions and derivations are considered to
some extent, but the emphasis of the course is on applications. A
substantial part of the course is devoted to the statistical software R.
Goal
At the end of this course, students should:
-be able to perform statistical hypothesis tests, parameter
estimation, regression analysis and to apply other common methods,
-have acquired skills in using a statistical software such as R/Splus,
-understand multiple testing problems,
-have insights into the Bayesian approach and resampling techniques.
