The main objective of this course is to review the basic concepts of the theory of statistics and further develop an understanding of some fundamental applied statistical methods. The emphasis is on applications of the theory in the development of statistical procedures. Some examples of applying statistics to engineering problems are also given. Theory- and computation-based assignments help students digest the concepts and apply them in practice. Covered topics: Fundamental concepts of statistics and related distributions; design of experiments and analysis of variance; multiple hypotheses testing; regression and correlation analysis; Bayesian statistics; computer-aided analysis of data.
