ORIE 3500 - Engineering Probability and Statistics II

Fall, Summer. 4 credits. Letter grades only.

Prerequisite: ENGRD 2700 or equivalent. Co-meets with ORIE 5500.

Fall: G. Samorodnitsky; Summer: Staff.

A rigorous foundation in theory combined with the methods for modeling, analyzing, and controlling randomness in engineering problems. Probabilistic ideas are used to construct models for engineering problems, and statistical methods are used to test and estimate parameters for these models. Specific topics include random variables, probability distributions, density functions, expectation and variance, multidimensional random variables, and important distributions including normal, Poisson, exponential, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, and point estimation using maximum likelihood and the method of moments.
