University of Oxford-Probability theory and statistics research and its application

Program Background

Probability theory and statistics are an extremely important branch of mathematics that deals with chance and chance, and how to extract meaningful information from data.With the increasing application of engineering, physics, biology and data science, these two disciplines are rapidly becoming the foundation for understanding the world in which we live.At present, probability statistics theory into other fields of natural science trend is still developing, in the field of social science, especially in economics to study the optimal decision and the stable growth of the economy, a large number of probability statistics methods.

Program Description

This project will provide a introduction to world-class probability theory and statistics, include the basic concepts of probability distribution, expectations, independence, conditional expectations, Markov chains, maximum likelihood estimation, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing. At the end of this project, students will submit their research report and show their results.

Suggested Future Research Fields:

Solving and studying the autocorrelation problem in linear regression modeling

Linear regression (housing price prediction model)

Processing and analysis of deformation monitoring data based on unary linear regression
