Entry requirements
Academic preconditions
Students taking the course are expected to know mathematical statistics equivalent to the content of the course ST521 Mathematical Statistics.
The course builds on the knowledge acquired in the course ST521, Mathematical statistics and demonstrate advanced topics in mathematical statistics as such complements courses like e.g. computational statistics, multivariate analysis, linear models and probability theory, as well as for a possible master project in statistics.
Course introduction
The aim of the course is to provide the student a further and advanced understanding of the theory and methods in mathematical statistics, which is important in regard to master the use of these for practical data analysis.
Expected learning outcome
The learning objective of the course is that the student demonstrates the ability to:
- understand and identify problems that can be solved using multivariate techniques
- perform a practical data analysis with the techniques from the course
- perform programming relevant to the content of the course in the statistical package used in the course
- identify and interpret relevant information in the output of the statistical package used in the course
- summarize the results of an analysis in a statistical report
Content
The following main topics are contained in the course:
- Theoretical results in hypothesis test
- Theoretical results regarding conditional tail moments
- Discriminant analysis and classification
