  • Statistical models, exponential families, sufficiency of statistics
  • Basics of Decision Theory, Minimax and Bayes approach, admissibility and the Stein phenomenon
  • Unbiased minimum variance estimation
  • Test theory, Neyman-Pearson lemma, UMP and UMPU Tests

Qualification Goals

The students shall

  • learn the basic concepts of mathematical statistics,
  • learn about and apply some important statistical methods,
  • practice mathematical methods (development of mathematical intuition and its formal justification, training of the ability to abstract, proof methods),
  • improve their oral communication skills in the recitation classes by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion.

Prerequisites

Translation is missing. Here is the German original:

Keine. Empfohlen werden die Kompetenzen, die in den Basismodulen, im Vertiefungsmodul Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie und im Praktikum zur Stochastik vermittelt werden.
