    Course Objective

    The course statistics is an introduction into the basic concepts of


    mathematical statistics. At the end of the course the student can
    formulate statistical models, derive different types of estimators,
    formulate and execute various hypothesis tests and construct confidence
    intervals.

    Course Content

    In statistics one tries to make statements about the generating process


    behind observed data. The lectures include: statistical models, point
    estimations, hypothesis tests, and the construction of confidence
    intervals; probability theory and classes of probability distributions
    are added to these topics when they are needed. The material is
    illustrated on the basis of many (practical) examples. In this course,
    the emphasis is on parametric statistics, in which the probability
    distribution is known up to a finite number of parameters.

    Additional Information Teaching Methods

    Lectures: 2 times 2 hours of lectures per week


    Tutorials: 1 time 2 hours of tutorial per week

    The purpose of the lectures is to gain new knowledge and insights from
    mathematics. As the course progresses so will the level of abstractness.
    It is very helpful to prepare yourself by reading relevant sections in
    the book and/or lecture notes before you come to the lecture.

    In the tutorials we focus on solving statistical problems in the form of


    exercises. Most exercises are of an applied nature although some will
    ask you to provide a theoretical result. Answers are important, but the
    route to the answer is obviously more important than the answer itself.
    Note that the exam questions will be very similar to the tutorial
    exercises. The tutorials are therefore a useful preparation for the
    examination.
