This certificate teaches the theory that underpins statistical inference and probability, equipping you to understand the assumptions and limitations of a range of statistical models. You’ll gain a thorough understanding of the theory you need as a professional statistician. Study the mathematical theory underlying methods and concepts used in practical statistical analyses while learning to develop probability models and investigate their properties.perties.
