Familiarity with basic probability concepts such as Probability distribution, Expectation, Variance, Covariance and Correlation. Knowledge of the main probability distributions (normal distribution, chi-square, ...). Basic linear algebra (vectors, matrices).
Learning Recommendations:Students should have a knowledge of statistical inference at a level equivalent to that which would be achieved upon completion of either "Inferential Statistics" STAT20100 or "Inference for Data Analytics" STAT30280.
Basic knowledge of linear algebra (vectors, matrices). Knowledge of linear models and least square estimation which would be achieved upon completion of "Data Modelling for Science" STAT20070 or "Predictive Analytics I" STAT30240 or STAT40790 would be beneficial.
