​M.184.2456 Introduction to Probability and Mathematical Statistics

Inhalte (short description):

​This course introduces students to further core concepts in probability distributions, data analysis, and time series analysis, building on foundational skills in descriptive and inferential statistics. Topics covered include confidence intervals for variances, analyzing contingency tables, correlation and regression analysis, and time series decomposition.
