Intermediate

Probability & Statistics

Master theoretical foundations, asymptotic inference, and scalable computational statistics for quantitative roles.

This intermediate course delivers a comprehensive treatment of probability spaces, random vectors, and inferential statistics. Students advance from calculus-based distribution derivations and asymptotic limit theorems to modern computational workflows, including resampling methods and Bayesian modeling. The curriculum provides the mathematical rigor needed for advanced academic study along with practical data analysis techniques for industry.
