The course addresses foundational topics in statistical inference and regression analysis. It provides students with rigorous foundations of probability theory, statistical inference, and multivariate regression analysis. The emphasis is given to acquiring rigorous theoretical foundations, which are necessary to learn and apply state-of-the-art quantitative analyses in the discipline. Along with a mathematical introduction to various methods, the course will also cover their application using statistical software. Besides regular homework assignments, there will also be computer assignments intended to highlight the basic theoretical concepts in the context of both real-world and simulated data.
