Statistical inference for difference and differential equations
ST3201 Master Seminar in Statistics on Tuesdays 14:15-15 in room 1138 in Sentralbygg 2 with Professor Gunnar Taraldsen.
This is given as a guided self-study course leading to the Kalman filter and more general prediction and inference methods for difference and differential equations. The contents will be selected topics from the reading list given below.

Curriculum:
Beware that it is assumed that basic concepts needed for an understanding of the curriculum is known a priori, and if not you must prepare for this in addition. For Chap 5 in Schervish this means in particular that you must be familiar with basic probability and statistics including for instance the concept of a random variable and a sufficient statistic as defined by Schervish.
