Program Overview

Program Details

The program details are as follows:

Program Description

The program is titled "Sandsynlighedsregning og statistik (SS)" which translates to "Probability Theory and Statistics (SS)" in English. It is offered by the University of Copenhagen.

Program Structure

• The program is structured into lectures and exercises.
• It consists of 4 hours of lectures per week for 7 weeks and 5 hours of exercises per week for 7.5 weeks.

Program Requirements

• The program requires an introduction to mathematics (MatIntro).
• It is recommended that students have a basic understanding of mathematical concepts.

Program Objectives

• The program aims to provide students with an understanding of probability theory and statistics.
• It covers topics such as stochastic variables, discrete and continuous distributions, mean and variance, simultaneous and marginal distributions, stochastic independence, estimation, hypothesis testing, and linear regression.

Program Outcomes

• Upon completion of the program, students will be able to calculate probabilities and conditional probabilities using basic definitions and rules.
• They will be able to perform calculations related to marginal, simultaneous, and conditional probabilities, mean, and variance.
• Students will also be able to perform estimation, calculate confidence intervals, and conduct hypothesis testing.

Program Assessment

• The program assessment consists of a written exam with supervision.
• The exam is 4 hours long and requires the use of a computer with R.
