Module Specifications.
Current Academic Year 2024 - 2025
All Module information is indicative, and this portal is an interim interface pending the full upgrade of Coursebuilder and subsequent integration to the new DCU Student Information System (DCU Key).
As such, this is a point in time view of data which will be refreshed periodically. Some fields/data may not yet be available pending the completion of the full Coursebuilder upgrade and integration project. We will post status updates as they become available. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Description Summary: Summarising and displaying statistical data in R; Introduction to probability: discrete sample spaces; axioms; addition and multiplication laws; conditional probability and independence; reliability of systems; Bayes theorem; • Discrete Random Variables: Bernouilli, hypergeometric, binomial, geometric and Poisson distributions; expectation; Sampling Inspection Schemes: Single and double sampling; operating characteristic function; average outgoing quality; consumers's and producer's risks. Continuous Random Variables: Uniform, exponential and normal distributions; normal approximation to binomial. Tchebechev's and Markov's inequalities • Aims: • To introduce the basic probability concepts and their applications to computer disciples; • To provide an understanding of discrete and continuous distributions; • To cover the essentials of the statistical computing system R. • To introduce the essentials of statistical analysis using R | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
