Bayesian statistics

MATH-339

A first introduction to Bayesian statistics, assuming knowledge from first courses in statistics and probability. We will focus on foundational statistical and mathematical aspects such as the decision theoretic background, consistency for large sample sizes, and algorithms for Bayesian computation.

Probability and statistics (for SV)

MATH-235

Introduction to notions of probability and basic statistics.

Statistical inference
