- Synopsis:
-
It is a basic course of probability theory and mathematical statistics. The probability theory is build gradually beginning with the classical definition and continuing till the Kolmogorov definition. The notions as random variable, distribution function of random variable and characteristics of random variable are treated and basic limit theorems are stated and proved. On the basis of this theory the basic methods of mathematical statistics such as estimation of distribution parameters and hypothesis testing are explained.
