MAT 425 Mathematical Statistics

Mathematical Statistics is intended, but not limited to mathematics and actuarial science majors. This course focuses on inferential statistics and the theory of estimation. It covers a number of different methods of estimation, including the method of moments and the method of maximum likelihood. Students will become familiar with the construction of confidence intervals for unknown parameters, and construction of hypothesis tests via the likelihood ratio.
