STSCI 5080
Probability Models and Inference

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

This course provides an introduction to probability and parametric inference. Topics include: random variables, standard distributions, the law of large numbers, the central limit theorem, likelihood-based estimation, sampling distributions and hypothesis testing, as well as an introduction to Bayesian methods. Some assignments may involve computation using the R programming language.

When Offered Fall, spring.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: BTRY 3010, Calculus II, or the equivalent.

Outcomes
  • Students will be able to manipulate random variables and their distributions using differential and integral calculus.
