Course specific prerequisites
Analysis in one and several dimensions and linear algebra.Aim
To provide basic ideas of probability and statistics, and common tools and techniques for applications. Special emphasis is on models and methods used in Automation and Mechatronics Engineering.Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- use mathematical formulations of randomness and uncertainty
- solve problems with conditional probabilities
- perform calculations with discrete and continuous random variables
- apply the central limit theorem and related approximations
- implement point and interval estimates
- apply basic statistical tests
- apply basic reliability theory
Content
Basic probability theory, random variables and their distributions, basic Monte Carlo methods, statistical inference and reliability theory.Organisation
Lectures and tutorials.Literature
Announced elsewhere.Examination including compulsory elements
Written examination.The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers on educational support due to disability.
