Abstract
We shall follow the
growth of probability theory and applications from the 1650s onwards, in
parallel with the development of statistical inference. Bayesian,
Neyman-Pearson hypothesis testing and Fisherian likelihood methods will all be
covered, with an emphasis on relating theory to a wide range of
applications. Practical sessions will use SciPy and feature
closed-form solutions, iterative and Monte Carlo simulation methods.
