Anotation:

Introduction to the theory of probability, mathematical statistics and computing methods together with their applications of praxis.

Study targets:

The aim is to introduce the students to the theory of probability and mathematical statistics, and show them the computing methods together with their applications of praxis.

Content:

The students are introduce to the theory of probability and mathematical statistics. Random events, conditional probability and random variables are defined, examples of the most common random variables are mentioned, and estimating parameters and hypotheses testing is explained. All the computing methods are shown on practical examples.

Course outlines:

1. Random events, probability, probability space.
2. Conditional probability, Bayes' theorem, independent events.
3. Random variable - definition, distribution function.
4. Characteristics of random variables.
5. Discrete random variable - examples and usage.
6. Continuous random variable - examples and usage.
7. Independence of random variables, sum of independent random variables.
8. Transformation of random variables.
9. Random vector, covariance and correlation.
10. Central limit theorem.
11. Random sampling and basic statistics.
12. Point estimation, method of maximum likelihood and method of moments, confidence intervals.
13. Confidence intervals and hypotheses testing.
14. Markov chains.
