DESCRIPTION
In statistics one tries to make statements about the generating process behind observed data. The lectures include: statistical models, point estimations, hypothesis tests, and the construction of confidence intervals; probability theory and classes of probability distributions are added to these topics when they are needed. The material is illustrated on the basis of many (practical) examples. In this course, the emphasis is on parametric statistics, in which the probability distribution is known up to a finite number of parameters.
Contact hours listed under a course description may vary due to the combination of lecture-based and independent work required for each course therefore, CEA's recommended credits are based on the ECTS credits assigned by VU Amsterdam. 1 ECTS equals 28 contact hours assigned by VU Amsterdam.
