Content

This workshop is designed for recently enrolled Master students at the School of Business and Economics. The aim is to provide participants with fundamentals of probability theory and statistics which are particularly important in the first semester of the Master program. The workshop program covers key concepts of basic probability theory, basics of statistical inference, general approaches of parameter estimation (e.g., ordinary least squares) and a summary of matrix algebra (e.g., matrix addition and matrix multiplication, eigenvalues).

Study material (including online resources) are available below. Please familiarize yourself with the topic before the attendance class starts in Tübingen.
