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 !

- 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! ***.
