Mathematical Statistics

The main aim of the course is to introduce the basic concepts of univariate mathematical statistics, both from a theoretical and applied point of view. Some first element also of multivariate statistics will be introduced. In particular, the first part of the course will be devoted to classical mathematical parametric statistics, the second part to classical mathematical nonparametric statistics and to parametric Bayesian statistics.

The student will learn the basic notions and theorems of mathematical statistics, which he/she will then be able to apply to conduct statistical investigations; he/she will be able to identify the most appropriate methods for analysing and solving a problem related to the topics of the course and correctly interpret the results in order to obtain the appropriate quantitative and qualitative answers for the data in his/her possession.
