  • Overview

    Introduction

    This is an intermediate level subject in statistics. It extends STAT11-111 in the topics of probability, discrete and continuous random variables, multivariate random variables, concepts of estimation, confidence interval estimation and hypothesis testing. Topics such as moment generating functions are also included.
