Program on Probability & Statistics with R

[Amit]

Overview

Program on Probability & Statistics with R is starting from 05th November, 2023.

Schedule 

• Instructor(s): Amit Kumar Goyal
• Program starts: 05th Nov 2023
• Lectures: Around 15 online LIVE lectures of 2 hours each. Total lecture time will be around 30 hours, Lectures will be scheduled on Sundays. Timings will be 7.30 PM - 9.30 PM (IST) (which is 2 PM to 4 PM (UTC))

Program Description 

This course covers probability, the concept and methods of sampling, and basic techniques for making estimates using data. Here is the list of topics we will cover in this class:

• Probability and Counting
• Conditional Probability and Bayes' Rule
• Discrete Random Variables
• Continuous Random Variables
• Joint Distributions and Conditional Expectation
• Averages, Law of Large Numbers, and Central Limit Theorem
• Point Estimation
• Interval Estimation
• Hypothesis Testing
• Simple & Multiple Linear Regression
• Logistic Regression

In this course, we'll also cover R:

• Introduction to R programming
• Summarizing and visualizing data in R
• Visualizing discrete and continuous distributions in R
• Simulations
• Statistics with R
• Regressions with R

Learning Outcomes

What you'll learn

• How to use probability to think about randomness and uncertainty
• The story approach to understanding random variables
• Probability distributions that are widely used in statistics and data science
• How to make good predictions and think conditionally
• Problem solving strategies
• Using R to run simulations and solve probability problems
• Construct estimators using method of moments and maximum likelihood, and decide how to choose between them
• Quantify uncertainty using confidence intervals and hypothesis testing
• You'll learn how to perform Machine Learning tasks such as Linear and Logistic Regression in R.

Prerequisite

No prior knowledge of Probability or R is required.

Fees

• Fees: INR 15,000/- (approximately US $190). Payment is due on October 31, 2023.
• You might be asked to verify your identity by providing a government ID at any point during the program.
