This online data science specialization is designed to provide you with a solid foundation in probability theory in preparation for the broader study of statistics. The specialization also introduces ...

Statistics is a branch of math that involves the collection, description, analysis, and inference of conclusions from quantitative data. But what is a statistic? Let’s find out. The word statistic is ...

Statistical inference can be difficult and counterintuitive. My impression is that too often people treat statistics as if it’s a kind of magic--perhaps a dark magic. For all our efforts as educators, ...

If program staff suspects you may have used AI tools to complete assignments in ways not explicitly authorized or suspect other violations of the honor code, they will contact you via email. Be sure ...

We investigate the behavior of Fourier transforms for a wide class of nonstationary nonlinear processes. Asymptotic central and noncentral limit theorems are established for a class of nondegenerate ...

Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) provides a scalable way to compute parameter estimates in applications involving large-scale data or streaming data. As an alternative version, averaged implicit SGD ...
