Comment:
Ubegrænset deltagerantal. 3.kvartal. Fælles undervisning med ST517 Sandsynlighed og stokastiske variable.

Prerequisites:
None

Academic preconditions:
The material from the course DM535 Discrete Methods for Computer Science is assumed known.

Course introduction
To introduce elementary concepts from probability theory, including random variables and standard distributions.

Expected learning outcome
The course will enable the participants to work independently with elementary probability calculations and random variables. The participants will be able to apply the acquired knowledge in relevant circumstances to

identify problems that can be solved by means of probability calculations;
carry out simple probability calculations using distributions and random variables;
to know conventional probability models and identify their application areas;
to know the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem, and to apply them in simple examples;
to use the statistical package R to carry out simple probability calculations and make simple graphics, including simple linear regression.

Subject overview
Probability, distributions, random variables, multivariate distributions, special distributions, convergence of sequences of random variables, simple linear regression.
