Course objectives
The main goal of the course is to become familiar with some basic principles of testing statistical hypotheses base on Wald principle, likelihood and score principle connecting the statistical theory with MC simulations, implementation in R, geometry, and statistical graphics for continuous data; to understand and explain basic principles of parametric statistical inference for continuous data; to implement these techniques into R language; to be able to apply them to real data.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able:
- to understand principles of likelihood and statistical inference for continuous data;
- to select suitable probabilistic and statistical model in statistical inference for continuous data;
- to build up and explain suitable simulation study for selected statistical test or confidence for continuous data;
- to build up and explain suitable statistical test for continuous data;
- to apply statistical inference on real for continuous data;
- to implement methods of statistical inference for continuous data in R.
