Overview
The unit consists of a review of probabilistic foundations for data analysis including probability, random variables, expectation, distribution functions, important probability distributions, central limit theorem, random vectors, conditional distributions and random processes.
You will develop the foundations of statistical inference including estimation, confidence intervals, maximum likelihood, hypothesis testing, least-squares and regression analysis.
A selection of more advanced topics in probability, random modelling and statistical inference will also be presented.
The material will be taught in the context of real engineering problems taken from multiple engineering disciplines. A widely used numerical computing environment will be used extensively throughout the unit.

Learning outcomes
When you finish this unit, you should be able to:
- 1
Assess problems from an engineering perspective and deliberate on the relevant contextual factors. Combine and apply sophisticated data analysis methods and decision-making skills to analyse industrial scenarios and make recommendations that support business growth and development.
- 2
Justify the use of appropriate computer modelling techniques and experimental methods, whilst ensuring model or test applicability, accuracy and limitations of the methods.
- 3
Collaboratively evaluate an industry scenario to solve a problem or develop an innovation.
- 4
Demonstrate the effective communication of the outcomes in a written and verbal format and assess the work of others.
Workload and teaching
- Laboratories24 hours
- Lectures12 hours
- Teaching approachProblem-based learning
The minimum total expected workload to achieve the learning outcomes for this unit is 144 hours per semester typically comprising a mixture of 3-6 hours of scheduled learning activities and 6-9 hours of independent study per week. Scheduled activities may include a combination of teacher-directed learning, peer-directed learning and online engagement. Independent study may include associated readings, assessment and preparation for scheduled activities.
Various teaching approaches will be used to deliver the material, including expert-led sessions, problem-solving sessions, and software classes. The electronic version of the material will be available on the Moodle site. In problem-solving sessions, you will work on problem sets under the guidance of an expert. Problems will be available on the Moodle. Solutions to the problems will be also available on the Moodle with an appropriate time gap. You are required to attend the problem-solving sessions, to work on the problem sets and participate in class, answer the online quizzes as a part of your overall assessment. There will be two hours of problem-solving and/or software classes commencing from Week 3. You must enrol in these classes using Allocate Plus.
