Objectives and competences
Students get acquainted with advanced aspects of mathematical statistics.
Teaching and learning methods
Lectures, exercises, homeworks, projects, self-study of literature, consultations.
Expected study results
Knowledge and understanding: Understanding of the notion »statistical model« and of the mathematical background of modelling, estimation and testing of statistical models.
Application: Statistics is one of the most applicable areas of mathematics. The projects will prepare students for application of statistics on all relevant areas.
Reflexion: Interplay between application, statistical modelling, feedback from other sciences and the encouragement for mathematical reasoning inspired by application.
Transferrable skills: Skills are transferrable to other areas of mathematical modelling. The course is especially important because of its immediate applicability.
