Learning outcomes

On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

  • have acquired a profound insight into some delimited area of probability theory, statistics, or some applied area of mathematics;

  • have been introduced to some area of current mathematical statistical research and be able to independently acquire information about literature and problems in the area;

  • be able to prepare and hold a seminar presentation in some area of modern mathematical statistical research.

Content

The contents of the course varies from one instance to another. Examples of themes: Asymptotic statistics, Brownian motion, Extreme value theory, Network and queuing theory, Risk analysis.

Instruction

Lectures and seminars.

Assessment

Assignments during the course. Presentation of a given subject at a seminar.

If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method.
