Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

By the end of the course the student should know the basic theory of multidimensional random variables and sequences of random variables. In particular the student should be able: - to derive the distribution of transformed random variables - to derive joint, conditional and marginal probability density functions - to state the definition and recall the properties of multivariate normal distributions – to investigate converge properties of sequences of random variables
