Course Objective

The objective of this course is to provide a theoretical foundation for statistical inference. The three main goals in inference (estimation, confidence set construction and hypothesis testing) are discussed in inferential statistics framework.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Explain the concepts of random sample and statistics
2   Define the fundamental sampling distributions and its properties
3   Understand how to derive point estimators and their properties
4   Understand the theory behind confidence intervals
5   Understand the theory behind hypothesis testing and basic concepts of it (simple and composite hypotheses, rejection region, Type I and Type II error, power function, etc.)
6   Obtain the most powerful critical region for simple hypothesis
7   Obtain the likelihood ratio test critical region
8   Understand the theory behind sequential ratio probability test.
