Course Syllabus
Abstract
Computational statistics is a one-semester course which is taught for ICEF BSc students. The course focuses on practical aspects and applications of probability theory, statistics and mathematical finance. Course naturally complements corresponding compulsory course
«Statistics» for second-year students.
The purpose of the course is to apply skills and knowledge students got at the lectures and
seminars of Statistics course to real data analysis using programming language.
Learning Objectives
- Familiarise students with data analysis methods and tools which are provided in statistics courses.
- Increase understanding of compulsory courses topics by considering examples and use cases where various methods can be applied.
- Learn how to use statistical software and programming language (Python) to analyse the data.
- Show how various statistical methods can be applied together to make comprehensive data analysis, how various topics of statistics are connected and can complement each other.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- Use and apply statistical methods for data analysis, research and modelling. This includes ability to select appropriate method/model, check its correctness and applicability, write a program, back test model on historical data and make conclusions.
- Be able to further study statistical methods which are available at modern software including reading relevant documentation, extra materials (books, articles) and applying new methods of data analysis.
- Be able to further enhance programming skills by studying advanced techniques which allow to write more effective and professional code meeting international coding standards.
