Theory of Errors

Course guarantor:

Martin Štroner

Lecturer:

Martin Štroner

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Special Geodesy

Synopsis:

The course builds on the courses of theory of errors and mathematical statistics at bachelor and master degrees. The aim is to deepen students' knowledge in the field of probability theory and adjustment calculus with an emphasis on analysis of geodetic and geophysical measurements, which are burdened with systematic and random errors.

The course includes a project focused on statistic analysis of measurements and results in the field of student's dissertation.

Requirements:

no prerequisites

Syllabus of lectures:

Lectures and exercises do not take place in a standard form, due to the number of students the course is implemented in a consultative form with the preparation of a term paper.
