2、Brief Course Introduction

Mathematical Statistics is an important course in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. Probability theory is a science that studies the regularity of random phenomena, and Mathematical Statistics is a subject that studies the statistical regularity of random phenomena along with the development of probability theory. Mathematical statistics analyses how to collect, collate and analyze the data that is affected by random factors, and makes inferences or predictions about these problems. The main contents are sample and sample distribution, parameter estimation, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance and regression analysis.

The statistical data is obtained from observation of random phenomena as the starting point, and the random phenomena are studied with the theory of probability theory. According to the data, the mathematical model of random selection is chosen, and the mathematical model is used to verify whether the mathematical model is suitable or not.
