Learning outcomes
The content of this course is the state final examination in statistics, econometric and decision making theory. Students are required to prove their mastery of basic terminology, theoretical principles and calculation operations in these fields and their correct application in particular problems. The first part of the examination covers topics such a probability and random variables. The second part of the examination covers the basic principles of mathematical statistics and inference. The third part of examination covers some classical method of time series analysis. Finally the fourth part consists of some parts from operation analysis.
Students know basic terminology, theoretical principles, and method used in the field of mentioned subjects. Students are able to apply the acquired knowledge in practice.
