Entry knowledge

Subjects taught in the course DA03, DA62 - Probability and mathematical statistics
Basics of the theory of probability, mathematical statistics and linear algebra - the normal distribution law, numeric characteristics of random variables and vectors and their point and interval estimates, principles of the testing of statistical hypotheses, solving a system of linear equations, inverse to a matrix

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Extent and forms are specified by guarantor’s regulation updated for every academic year.

Aims

After the course, the students should understand the basics of the theory of stochastic processes, know what a stochastic process is and when it is determined in terms of probability, know what numeric characteristics are of stochastic processes and they can be estimated. They should be able to decompose a time series, estimate its components and make forecats, judge the periodicity of a process.
Using statistical programs, they should be able to identify Box-Jenkins models, estimate the parameters of a model, judge the adequacy of a model and construct forecasts.
