The diversity of perspectives, experiences, and skills that the students bring with them to the group is treated as a positive contribution to the quality of research they produce and entails great benefits.

    course content:
    Continuous distribution models, sampling functions, parameter estimation, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, regression analysis.
