Overview
Key facts
As such there will be a strong emphasis on mathematical statistics as important discrete and continuous probability distributions are covered (such as the Binomial, Poisson, Uniform, Exponential and Normal distributions). Properties of these distributions will be investigated including use of the moment generating function.
London School of Economics and Political Science offers the Probability and Statistics for Economics and Econometrics programme.
Point estimation techniques are discussed including method of moments, maximum likelihood and least squares estimation. Statistical hypothesis testing and confidence interval construction follow, along with non-parametric and goodness-of-fit tests and contingency tables. A treatment of linear regression models, featuring the interpretation of computer-generated regression output and implications for prediction, rounds off the course.
