Course detail
Probability and Mathematical Statistics
ÚSI-DSNA01Acad. year: 2020/2021
The course is intended for doctoral students and is focused on stochastic modelling and modern methods of statistical analysis (probability, random variables and vectors, random selection and its realization, fitting of probability distributions and estimates of their parameters, testing, of statistical hypotheses, regression analysis) for processing statistical files obtained in the implementation and evaluation of experiments in the framework of students' research work.
