Dear colleagues, I would like to invite you to my foundational course on "Probability Theory" (more info at https://training.vbcf.ac.at/training/rprob.php ). Should you attend this course [and its follow-up "Think statistics!" (https://training.vbcf.ac.at/training/rstat.php ) which will be held a week later]? Test your knowledge first at https://training.vbcf.ac.at/training/selftest.php ! Topics: - Foundations of probability theory: basic identities (sum rule, product rule). Independent variates, conditional probability. - Discrete probability distributions: Uniform, Bernoulli, Binomial, Poisson, Negative Binomial. - Continuouos probability distributions: Uniform, Exponential, Gamma etc. - Central Limit Theorem. Normal and Chi-square distributions. Out of scope: Applied data analyses. Prerequisites: Knowledge of the 4 arithmetic operations. Basic familiarity with R is not needed but useful to understand the hands-on examples. Date/time: Monday 14th September, 09:00 - 13:00h. Location: IMP seminar room E-016. Cost: free of charge. How to register: Check your calendar. *** If you register but don't attend, you are taking away a place from a colleague! ***. Ask your supervisor for permission to attend, then open this URL: https://training.vbcf.ac.at/training/schedule.php Click on the [REGISTER] button and fill out the form.
