EG501E: STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY FOR SAFETY, RELIABILITY AND QUALITY (2024-2025)

Last modified: 23 Jul 2024 11:04


Course Overview

The aim of this course is to get an understanding of applied probability and statistics. Students will be able to handle variables of a random nature, deal with parameters of different distributions and data of scattering nature.

Course Description

This course provides mathematical foundation of the probabilistic analysis of random variables. The course is an extension to the undergraduate level of the subject. This course is a pre-requisite for the module on Advanced Methods for Risk and Reliability Assessment.

The following modules will be covered in the course:

1. Revision of elementary concepts in statistics and probability.

2. Important uni-variate distributions.

3. The bi-variate and multi-variate normal distribution.

4. Parameter estimation and goodness-of-fit.

5. Analysis of statistical data.

6. Treatment of outliers.

7. Analysis of variance.

8. Introduction to continuous and discrete stochastic processes.


Details, including assessments, may be subject to change until 30 August 2024 for 1st term courses and 20 December 2024 for 2nd term courses.
