Probabilistic basis for adjustment of observations  

Description

The course covers fundamentals of probability theory and statistics which are needed in teaching geodetic adjustment methods. The following subjects are included in the course: 1) introduction to the theory of probability; 2) random variables with discrete and continuous dis-tribution; 3) multidimensional random variables; 4) estimation of statistical parameters – ex-pected value, variance, standard deviation and correlation coefficient, confidence intervals of the estimated values; 5) verification of statistical hypotheses, particularly those concerning the expected value, variance, standard deviation and correlation coefficient; 6) propagation of the vector of expected values and the covariance matrix associated with transformation of the random vector.
