Learning outcomes To develop probability models for variables on measurable spaces of different dimensions; identify and apply the properties of probability laws in problem solving; characterize a stochastic process; identify and apply various modes of stochastic convergence.
Syllabus 1. Probability spaces: axiomatic, conditional probability and independence in a family of events.
2. Laws of probability on IR: classification and integration.
3. Probability laws on IRn: independent random variables, transformation of random vectors, conditional distributions and moments.
4. Probability laws on C: random variables with complex values, characteristic function of a real random vector and Normal vectors.
5. Stochastic processes: characterization, independence of increments, Markovian property, autocorrelation and autocovariance, stationarity, Poisson processes, processes of counting renewals.
6. Stochastic convergences: convergence in law, functional convergences, laws of large numbers and the central limit theorem.
