The course of Probability and Statistics is a fundamental teaching in the curriculum of a degree program pertaining to the Faculty of Engineering. This course provides the basic tools of probabilistic calculation and the basics of statistics, useful for understanding any other scientific and technical course. It exercise the student with a logical-deductive method for determining a correct approach in solving problems of more complex nature. |
Basic linear algebra and calculus. |
The course of Probability and Statistics for the Faculty of Engineering has as its main goal to lead the student to acquire, starting from elementary properties of the concepts of probability, the necessary expertise in the statistical calculation. |
- Probability spaces. Discrete and continuous random variables.
- Expected value and variance.
- Independence, conditional expected value.
- Statistical inference: statistical models, extimation, test, linear and log-linear models.
