Additionally, it lays a foundation for advanced study in machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Text book

The major textbook for this course is A Modern Introduction to Probability and Statistics Understanding Why and How [Online]. For a bit more in-depth study, you are referred to All of Statistics, A Concise Course in Statistical Inference[Online]

Grading

The grades are based on the following components:

Assignments must be electronically submitted through Canvas by midnight of the due date. Instructions about submission will be given in each assignment. 

Late policy

All assignments should be submitted by the deadline. If the deadline is missed, the late submissions will have 10% penalty.
