In the end of the course, students should:
1. Know the most important concepts of the Statistical Inference, which are essential for the study of Econometrics.
2. Be able to apply the statistical methods to solve problems in new situations, never forgetting their rigourous mathematical formularisation.
By the end of the CU the students should understand the concepts leading to statistical inference; be able to apply statistical methods, bearing in mind their rigorous mathematical formulation and applicability conditions.
Introduction. Random Sampling.
Point Estimation of Parameters. Properties of estimators: unbiasedness, efficiency, consistency and sufficiency. Methods of point estimation: method of moments and method of maximum likelihood.
Interval estimation.
Confidence intervals for the parameters of a Normal population and for the proportion (large samples). Confidence intervals for the difference of means and ratio of variances of Normal populations. Confidence intervals for the difference of proportions.
Tests of Hypothesis for a single sample. Tests of hypotheses for 2 samples.
Chi-squared tests: goodness of fit. Analysis of variance with 1 factor.
The methods are presented and discussed in class in the context of practical problems and exercises. There is a discussion on the applicability condtions of the methods. The software/programming environment R is used to ilustrate the application of the methods with emphasis on the interpretation of the results.
All classes are in Portuguese.
