Mathematical Statistics 2400-PP2ST
The course consists of lectures and discussions. The discussions will be devoted to solving practical problems related to theoretical issues introduced during lectures. The topics covered include
Lectures 1,2:
1. Introduction to statistics and statistical concepts (population, characteristic etc.). Basic population characteristics (empirical CDF, mean, median, variance and other measures of location and dispersion).
2. Graphical presentation of data.
3. Statistical indices.
Lecture 3:
4. The statistical model and statistical inference. Concepts of estimation, hypothesis testing and prediction. The notion of a statistic. Basic probability distributions commonly used in statistics.
Lecture 4:
5. Point estimation (method of moments, quantiles, maximum likelihood).
Lectures 5,6,7:
6. Estimator properties: bias, measures of the quality of an estimator, estimator risk, information inequality, estimator efficiency.
7. Asymptotic estimator properties (consistency, asymptotic normality, asymptotic efficiency).
Lecture 8:
8. Interval estimation: confidence intervals for the parameters in a normal model, two-point distribution model, asymptotic confidence intervals.
Lecture 9:
9. Verification of statistical hypotheses. Notions of hypothesis, test, critical region, error of 1st and 2nd type, level of significance, p-value.
Lecture 10:
10. Test power, most powerful tests, Neyman-Pearson Lemma.
Lecture 11:
11. Tests based on likelihood ratio. Testing hypotheses about the parameters of a normal model. Comparing populations.
Lecture 12:
12. Comparing more than two populations (ANOVA). Asymptotic properties of the likelihood ratio tests.
Lecture 13:
13. Tests of consistency and independence. Kolmogorov tests, the chi-square test.
Lectures 14, 15:
14. The Bayesian model and Bayesian statistics. Prior and posterior distributions. The Bayesian estimator.
15. Summary.

Assessment criteria
The student counts exercises (100%) based on 2 tests (60%), unannounced small tests (20%) and homework (20%), and the subject ends with a written exam. The final grade is 1/3 of the exercise grade + 2/3 of the exam grade.
