Advanced Probability and Inference

Submitted by SuneK on December 15, 2011 - 16:13

Content

  • Mathematical background (limits, series, order relations and rates of convergence, continuity, sets)
  • Measure theoretic foundations of probability (probability triplets, random variables, independence, expected values, change of variable)
  • Stochastic convergence (almost sure convergence, convergence in probability, convergence in distribution, laws of large numbers, central limit theorems, non-iid stochastic variables)
  • Conditional probability and expectation
  • Statistical tests (size and critical values, power, efficiency, asymptotic tests, asymptotic relative efficiency)
  • Estimation (confidence intervals, point estimation, asymptotic efficiency, Fisher Information)
  • Nonparametrics (U-statistics, statistical functionals, limit distributions)
