Course detail
Dynamic and Multivariate Stochastic Models
FSI-9DVM Acad. year: 2025/2026 Summer semester
The course is intended for the students of doctoral degree programme and it is concerned with the modern stochastic methods (stochastic processes and their processing, multidimensional probability distributions, multidimensional linear and nonlinear regression analysis, correlation analysis, principal components method, factor analysis, discrimination analysis, cluster analysis) for modeling of dynamic and multidimensional problems gained at realization and evaluation of experiments in terms of students research work.

Entry knowledge
Rudiments of the theory probability and mathematical statistics.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
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.
Attendance at lectures is not compulsory, but is recommended.
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.
Students acquire higher knowledge concerning modern stochastic methods, which enable them to model dynamic and multidimensional technical phenomena and processes by means calculations on PC.
