Course Description : 

This course covers the classical aspects of probability theory and focuses on the probabilistic model and its basic properties. It also considers random experiments whose characteristic of interest can be modelled by univariate or multivariate random variables (discrete or continuous). It introduces random vectors, sequences of random variables, and different aspects of convergence. Finally, students will be introduced to elements of statistical and Bayesian inference, such as parameter estimation and hypothesis testing.
