Theoretical Statistics and Probability (S04)

This certificate will provide you with the theory that underpins statistical inference and probability, ensuring that you’re equipped to understand the assumptions and limitations of a range of models. It will provide the thorough understanding of the theory you need to underpin your work as a professional statistician. You’ll learn how to develop probability models for practical situations, including random processes, and investigate the properties of the model. You’ll also study the mathematical theory underlying the methods and concepts used in practical statistical analyses.**Key features of the course**- Covers key analytical approaches; classical and Bayesian statistics; and the underpinning mathematical theory- Teaches you the knowledge of distribution theory and a range probabilistic models- Provides you with the theory behind statistical inference- Gives you the skills to be able to critically comment on analyses and model choices
