Mathematical Statistics
The purpose of studying the discipline is the formation of students' scientific understanding of the probabilistic laws of mass homogeneous random phenomena, as well as methods of collecting, systematizing and processing observation results in order to identify statistical patterns.
Discipline objectives:
- theoretical mastering by students of the basic concepts and methods of mathematical statistics;
- the acquisition of practical skills for calculating the probability of random events, researching the laws of distribution of random variables and their numerical characteristics;
- teaching students methods of processing statistical information to assess the values of parameters and test the significance of hypotheses.
The goal of mastering the discipline
The goal of mastering the discipline is the formation of students' theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the basics of mathematical statistics, the development of methods of mathematical modeling and analysis.
