AbstractIn this course we study the basics of theoretical statistics. The course includes methods for designing estimators, confidence
intervals and tests, and various ways to evaluate the accuracy of
estimators, confidence intervals and tests. We consider optimality criteria such as admissibility and minimaxity, as well as
Bayesian criteria. We will also present the asymptotic point of view.
Learning objectiveThe aim of this course
is to gain insight into the main statistical ideas and concepts.
The course considers classical low-dimensional models, with pointers towards today's highly complex models.
