    MACT 317/3224 : Probability and Statistics


    Course description

    A course in probability and statistics designed for computer


    science and engineering students.

    Probability is used to construct parametric models that often


    arise in computer science and engineering problems.
    Statistics is then used to

    1. estimate the parameters of these models based on available


    data ;
    2. check the adequacy of the fitted models ;
    3. and test specific hypotheses.
