Learning Outcomes
Competences
The courses VL and UE Advanced Statistical Inference form an inseparable didactic unit. The learning outcomes described below are achieved through the interaction of the two courses:

Students are able to mathematically justify and possibly improve methods of advanced statistical inference, particularly asymptotics.

Skills Knowledge
  • Knowing and understanding of the basic problems, concepts and procedures of advanced statistical inference, particularly asymptotics (k1,k2)
  • Classify the concepts in their historical and contemporary meaning (k1)
  • Derive mathematical facts and theorems (k3,k4,k5)
  • Use of the Mathematica program package (k3)
  • Convergence concepts
  • Generating a random sample
  • Asymptotic evaluation of point and interval estimators and statistical tests
  • Delta method, efficiency, bootstrap theory
  • Robustness
  • Decision theory
  • Copulas
