Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students acquire higher knowledge concerning methods of mathematical statistics, which enable them to apply stochastic models of technical phenomena and processes by means calculations on PC.
Prerequisites
Rudiments of the probability theory and mathematical statistics.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
The exam is in form read report from choice area of statistical methods or else elaboration of written work specialized on solving of concrete problems.
Aims
The objective of the course is formalization of stochastic thinking of students and their familiarization with modern methods of mathematical statistics and possibilities usage of professional statistical software in research.
