Course Objective

Upon completion of this course, students ara expected to understand and apply bacis consepts related with the discrete and continuous statistical distributions and two important methods of parameter estimation. In particular, students will be able to understand consepts in maximum likelihood estimation and in the method of moments for parameter estimation.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to compare the concepts of probability and likelihood 2   To be able to understand and to use consepts of sampling distributions and some important joint distributions commonly used in area of statistical area 3   To be able to understand and evaluate properties of point estimators, i.e., unbiasedness, efficiencyi aysmptotic efficiency, consistency and sufficiency 4   To be able to enchance their research and analytical thinking skills in the area of statistical inference
