● 課程說明(Course Description)
This course is the first part of a two-semester sequence. The subject of this semester gives an
introduction to probability theory and statistics. Students learn how to describe random phenomena using
the language of probability, and how this is applied in a statistical framework to solve real world problems.
This subject teaches students basic concepts in probability theory and their application in statistical
modelling and inference. Students learn how to formulate an appropriate statistical model for a given dataset
and how to carry out sensible statistical inference.
