Goals and objectives
This is an introductory course to applied statistics. It is intended for those with little mathematical background. By the end of this course, you should be able to understand and use the concepts in probability theory, statistics, and beyond. We would increase a student's capacity to understand the role that mathematical sciences play in the real world to make well-founded decisions as a potential engineer. To illustrate, the student should comprehend the methods of statistical hypothesis testing and interval estimation as well as the notion of p-value. The method of ANOVA, or the analysis of variance, the Bayesian inverse probability approach, and some topics of Independent Component Analysis would also be mentioned in the latter part of this lecture course.
Prerequisites
It is quite essential that you understand a high school level mathematics beforehand. Private study time is also an essential complement to our work in the course, which would improve your understanding of the subjects.
