For 2025 lectures please find all informations here
These lectures will provide an introduction to the basic topics of probability and statistics for data analysis:
- The concept of probability and the most common probability laws (binomial, Poisson, exponential, Gaussian…)
- Parameter estimation: the method of moments, the Maximum Likelihood method, the chi-square estimator
- Confidence intervals
- Test of hypotheses: simple hypotheses, goodness of fit
- The Bayes rule, the Bayesian approach to parameter estimation, and Monte-Carlo Markov chains
Several practical examples will be presented and hands-on tutorial sessions will be proposed.
