Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The students will understand and learn how to apply the most important statistical methods in experimental data analysis.

Elementary introduction to probability; Bayes' theorem; counting experimants, discrete random variables; measurement experiments and continuous random variables; random samples and sample statistics; and their properties; moment estimators, maximum likelihood estimators, bayes estimators; confidence intervals and credible intervals; linear models and regression.

Assessment and permitted materials

Weekly blackboard and programming exercises. In addition, there will be an oral or written examination at the end of the semester, depending on the number of participants.
