It is vital to acquire knowledge and skills in statistics and probability in various fields related to electrical engineering and information communication engineering. By combining lectures and exercises, the course enables students to understand and learn the fundamentals of mean, variance, characteristic function, etc. in the first part (probability) and those of unbiased estimation, maximum likelihood estimation, hypothesis testing, etc. in the second part (statistics).
The ability to derive statistically significant information will be very useful in the real world.
Students will be able to learn how to analyze data in various fields related to electrical engineering and information communication engineering by using probablistic methods and statistical techniques. The course provides specific examples in engineering, which will give a deeper understanding. Many practical exercises and exams will enable students to acquire knowledge effectively.
Probability, Mean, Variance, Maximum likelihood estimation, Hypothesis testing
✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
To cultivate practical ability, students are given many exercise problems, which are related to a previous class and a class on the day.
