Learning outcomes
The goal of the course is to introduce theoretical basis of descriptive statistics and probability, in order to solve the problem of modelling actual phenomena by using stochastic methods, especially applied to Statistics.
By the end of the course, students will have to show their skills with the main statistical methodologies for the analysis and estimation of phenomena, both theoretically and through the use of the R-Studio software.
Program
Descriptive statistics. Means, median, quantiles.
Variance and other statistics to measure the variability of a distribution.
Simmetry: Skewness of Pearson.
Independence test in crossed tables.
Linear Regression.
Introduction to probability theory: historical roots, three kinds of definition. Revision of set theory. Axiomatic definition of probability: outcomes, random experiments, sample space. Conditional probability: total probability theorem, law of compound probabilities.
Combinatorics elements: dispositions, permutations, combinations.
Random variables, discrete density function and cumulative distribution function. Mean, variance and n-th moment of random variables. Models of discrete distributions: Bernoulli distribution, uniform distribution, binomial distribution, geometric distribution, hyper-geometric distribution, Poisson distribution. Examples of continuous distributions: exponential distribution, Gaussian distribution. Characteristic function and (moment) generating function.
Inferential statistics: parameters estimation and statistical hypothesis testing.

Examination Methods
Written exam and test by using the R programming language.
The exam is divided into two parts: a Theory module (22 points) and a Laboratory module (8 points), to be held together.
The test will consist of:
- 3 exercises to be performed with paper, pen and calculator, related to the Theory module;
- 2 exercises about the R programming language, to be performed with paper and pen, related to the Laboratory module.
It is forbidden to use textbooks, manuals or notes during the exam.
Students may use a scientific calculator.
