| Description | Objective: The course gives an elementary-level introduction to probability and statistics for engineers and scientists. Along with theory and methods, this course focuses on applications in real-life using statistical computing and graphics tools, e.g., R programming language. Contents: • Data visualisation tools and techniques •Discrete experiments, Probability space, Equally-likely outcomes and combinatorial problems, Non-equally likely outcomes •Conditional probability, Bayes formula, Independent events • Random variables, Binomial and Poisson distributions, Expectation, Variance, Linearity of expectation • Markov and Chebyshev inequalities, simple applications • Joint distributions, joint densities, correlation • Statistics, sampling, central limit theorem, hypothesis testing |
