Both Fundamentals of Probability (MCS.T212) and Mathematical Statistics (MCS.T223) are necessary. Based on probability theory and mathematical statistics, mathematical structure of data analysis is introduced. Student should not measure this subject by practicability. True data analysis, which is based on mathematics, enables us to have wide viewpoints and deep insight. Nowadays, data analysis requires not only classical tools but also algebraic geometry, manifold theory, and stochastic process theory on functional space.
Using probability theory and mathematical statistics, let's study and understand basic points of data analysis with applications to practical problems. You should understand that algebraic geometry, manifold theory, and stochastic process theory on functional space are necessary in modern data analysis.
probability theory and mathematical statistics are necessary, practicability is not only measure, mathematics is the most important.
