Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of calculus: function, derivative, definite integral.
Basic knowledge of linear algebra: matrix, determinant, eigenavlues, eigenvectors.
Knowledge of probability a and statistics and practice with statistical language R within the scope of course MB153 Statistics I or MB143 Design and analysis of statistical experiments. Students without these knowledges and without practice with R are adviced to complete the course MB153 first.

Course objectives
This is an advanced course which introduces students to more complex methods of mathematical statistics. It expands the knowledge from a basic course of statistics and add further methods. The lectures explains the mathematical background, algorithms, computational procedures and conditions, seminars lead to practical use of the methods for the analysis of datasets in statistical software R and to interprete the results. After completing the course, the student will understand advanced statistical methods and inferential principles (estimations, hypothesis testing). The student will be able to use this methods in analyzing datasets and will be able to statistically interpret the achieved results.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course the student will be able to:
- explain the principles and algorithms of advanced methods of mathematical statistics;
- perform a statistical analysis of a real dataset using tidyverse packages in software R;
- interpret the results obtained by the statistical analysis.
Syllabus

Teaching methods
Classes are in full-time form: 2 hours of lectures, 2 hours of practical classes a week.
Practical classes consist of work in statistical software R using tidyverse packages.
Assessment methods
Exercises: attendance and active involvement in problem solving and homeworks, working with ROPOTs, solving interim and final problems. Final examination: full-time form – written exam. ROPOTs, final problem solving and the exam are evaluated in points. For successful completion of the course, to achieve at least 50 % of total sum of points is necessary.
Language of instruction
English
