Learning outcomes
To give a theoretical basis within the subject Probability theory for further studies in Mathematical statistics.
On completion of the course, the student should be able to
- carry out variable exchange calculations for multidimensional distributions and account for the theorem that these calculations build on;
- use and account for the concept of conditioning;
- carry out calculations with transforms, such as moment-generating functions, and to account for their theoretical properties;
- account for the most important properties for multidimensional normal distributions;
- account for different types of convergence for stochastic variables as well as The Law of Large Numbers and The Central Limit Theorem.
Content
The basic concepts of the probability theory, multidimensional stochastic variables, conditioning, transforms, convergence concepts, The law of large numbers and The central limit theorem.
Instruction
Lectures and problem solving sessions.
Assessment
Written examination at the end of the course combined with written assignments during the course according to instructions delivered at course start.
Other regulations
The course may not be included in higher education qualification together with Mathematical Statistics (1MS013) 15 credits.
