Entry knowledge

Descriptive statistics, probability, random variable, random vector, random sample, parameters estimation, hypotheses testing, and regression analysis.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Course-unit credit requirements: active participation in seminars.
Exam: Presenting a assigned project.

 

Attendance at seminars is controlled and the teacher decides on the compensation for absences.

Aims

The course objective is to make students majoring in Mathematical Engineering and Physical Engineering acquainted with important selected methods of mathematical statistics used for a technical problems solution.

 

Students acquire needed knowledge from the mathematical statistics, which will enable them to evaluate and develop stochastic and interval models of technical phenomena and processes based on these methods and realize them on PC.
