Statistical Sciences

Learning goals Develop analytical and computational skills to solve statistical decision problems. Knowledge and understanding At the end of the course the students have the ability to understand and solve simple and more advanced exercises of Statistical decision theory. Applying knowledge and understanding Students are required to apply theoretical and computational skills (using the software R) to solve inferential problems formalized as decision problems. Making judgements One of the main goals of practical activities is to develop the ability of comparing and choosing alternative methods, i.e. to refine judgement skills. Communication skills Students acquire the ability of presenting written reports of their practical laboratories. Learning skills The students acquire a series of skills useful for future academic and professional activities.
