Course Aims
This course aims
■ to help students develop a thorough understanding of the theory underpinning multivariate random variables;
■ to expose students to the multivariate normal distribution; and
■ to expose students to the theory of different types of convergence of sequences of random variables.
Intended Learning Outcomes of Course
By the end of the course students will be able to:
■ derive the distribution of transformed random variables;
■ derive joint, conditional and marginal probability density functions;
■ state the definition and recall the properties of multivariate normal distributions; and
■ investigate convergence properties of sequences of random variables.
