Department of Statistics Graduate Program R270500 Advanced Probability Theory (高等機率論) Fall 2010 The mission of the Department of Statistics is to cultivate quality professionals with enthusiasm and global perspectives. Graduate Program Learning Goals (goals covered by this course are indicated): 1 Graduate students should be able to communicate effectively verbally and in writing. 2 Graduate students should solve strategic problems with a creative and innovative approach. 3 Graduate students should demonstrate leadership skills demanded of a person in authority. 4 Graduate students should possess a global economic and management perspective. 5 Graduate students should possess the necessary skills and values demanded of a true professional. Instructor/開課教師: Ray-Bing Chen /陳瑞彬 Prerequisite/先修科目 : Elementary Probability Theory、Calculus Course Description/課程概述: The course shall starts with set theory in which concept of -algebra and probability space further follows. Random phenomena will be discussed and linked to all various types of random variables of random vectors in both discrete and continuous cases. Then random sequences and will-known stochastic processes shall be introduced with discussions on related limit situations, local behaviors, together with required computational techniques. Course Objectives/教學目標: Teach students the concept of probability in relation to randomness occurring in all sorts of phenomena. Then methods shall be taught to enable the students on how to manipulate the randomness concept for practical applications. Content Summary/授課課程大綱明細: 1. Construction of measures on -fields. 2. Probability spaces and random variables. 3. Probability distributions. 4. Probability laws and types of laws. 5. Charosteristic functions of extensions. 6. Central limit problem and solutions. 7.
