Course description and aims
This course focuses on the fundamentals of probability and statistics which are used in various research areas such as model for digital communication, analysis of genome, and statistical analysis of big data. This course provides not only mathematical foundation of probability and statistics, but also practical methods to apply these mathematical knowledge.
Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to understand the following concepts:
1) The probability theory (probability axioms, expected value, variance, and moment generating function)
2) Multidimensional probability distribution, statistical independence, and correlation
3) Normal distribution and binomial distribution
4) Law of large numbers and central limit theorem
5) Hypothesis testing, point estimation, interval estimation
6) Bayesian statistics
Keywords
probability axioms, expected value, variance, moment generating function, multidimensional probability distribution, statistical independence, correlation, normal distribution, binomial distribution, law of large numbers, central limit theorem, hypothesis testing, point estimation, interval estimation, Bayesian statistics
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Towards the end of class, students are given exercise problems related to what is taught on that day to solve. In the exercise class, students are given advanced or practical problems related to the previous lecture classes.
