Upon completing this course, the student should:
- have a practical understanding of several computational methods, in particular know how these tools may be used in the statistical analysis of different types of data;
- have a theoretical knowledge of the most relevant computational methods, such as Monte Carlo methods, enabling its use in the development of statistical methods and inference models;
- be able to implement computational tools by means of adequate software and languages, such as R.
Review of some fundamental concepts and principles of statistical inference and an introduction to computational inference.
Bootstrap and Jackknife methods. Permutation tests.
Probability density estimation.
Visualisation of multivariate data.
Monte Carlo Integration. Monte Carlo methods in statistical inference.
Numerical methods in R, including classical estimation methods and algorithms.
Lectures TP where the topics of the syllabus are presented, exercises and related problems are solved.
Two project works to be developed in team. The discussion of the works is open, all students are encouraged to participate.
