Keywords : Probability theory, probability distribution, random variable
| ||||
Prerequisite : Familiarity with basic notions of analysis, topology and algebra. Familiarity with rigorous proofs.
| ||||
Aims : Students completing this course will be able to understand and manipulate classical notions in probability and measure theory.
| ||||
Contents This course is concerned with classical notions in probability and measure theory, which include the following topics: 1. Probability spaces, random variable and expectation. 2. Discrete and absolutely continuous distributions, classical distributions, Law of the unconscious statistician. 3. Characterization of laws through the cumulative distribution and characteristic functions. Computation of the law of a random variable. 4. Random vectors, marginal laws, Fubini's theorem, Change of variable 5. Fatou's Lemma, Monotone convergence theorem, Dominated convergence theorem 6. Lp spaces, moments, variance, covariance, linear regression 7. Independance and Convolution 8. Different notions of convergence of random variables : in probability, in distribution, almost sure, in Lp. Borel Cantelli Lemma.
Students will also be provided with the basical tools to numerically siumlate random variables in Python and Matlab. | ||||
