A course is the basic teaching unit, it's design as a medium for a student to acquire comprehensive knowledge and skills indispensable in the given field. A course guarantor is responsible for the factual content of the course.
For each course, there is a department responsible for the course organisation. A person responsible for timetabling for a given department sets a time schedule of teaching and for each class, s/he assigns an instructor and/or an examiner.
Expected time consumption of the course is expressed by a course attribute extent of teaching. For example, extent = 2 +2 indicates two teaching hours of lectures and two teaching hours of seminar (lab) per week.
At the end of each semester, the course instructor has to evaluate the extent to which a student has acquired the expected knowledge and skills. The type of this evaluation is indicated by the attribute completion. So, a course can be completed by just an assessment ('pouze zápočet'), by a graded assessment ('klasifikovaný zápočet'), or by just an examination ('pouze zkouška') or by an assessment and examination ('zápočet a zkouška') .
The difficulty of a given course is evaluated by the amount of ECTS credits.
The course is in session (cf. teaching is going on) during a semester. Each course is offered either in the winter ('zimní') or summer ('letní') semester of an academic year. Exceptionally, a course might be offered in both semesters.
The subject matter of a course is described in various texts.
BIK-PST Probability and Statistics Extent of teaching: 13KP+4KC Instructor: Completion: Z,ZK Department: 18105 Credits: 5 Semester: Z Annotation:
Students are introduced to elements of probability thinking, ability of the synthesis both prior and posterior information and use to work with random variables. They will be able to apply correctly basic models of the distribution of random variables and to solve applied probability problems in the area of informatics and computer science. Using statistical inference methods, they master methods of statistical inference to estimate unknown population parameters on the basis of sample. They get acquainted with basic methods of the determination of possible statistical dependence of two or more random variables.
Lecture syllabus:
1. Probability: Random event, event space structure, probability of a random event and its basic properties. Conditional probability: Dependent and independent events, Bayes theorem. 2. Random variable: Distribution function of a random variable, continuous and discrete distributions, quantiles, median. Characteristics of position and shape: Mean value, variance, general moments, kurtosis and skewness. 3. Overview of basic distributions: binomial, Poisson, uniform, normal, exponential. Their basic properties. Probability applications. Hash functions, probabilistic algorithms. 4. Random vector: Joint and marginal statistics, correlation coefficient, dependence and independence of random variables. Descriptive statistics: Classification and processing of data sets, characteristics of position, variance, and shape, sampling moments, graphical representation of data. 5. Random sampling: Simple and stratified sampling, their distributions, basic sampling statistics, sample mean and variance, distributions (t-distribution, F-distribution, chi square). Parameter estimation: Confidence interval, point estimation, methods. 6. Hypothesis testing: Testing strategy, mean value and variance tests, some of their modifications. Application of statistical testing in CS. Non-parametric tests: Comparing distributions, Wilcoxon test, Smirnov-Kolmogorov test, goodness-of-fit test. 7. Analysis of variance: One-way and two-way classification, normality testing. Correlation and regression analysis: Linear and quadratic regression, sample correlation. Seminar syllabus:
