Probability & Statistics
Overview
Probability & Statistics underpins the process by which uncertainty can be quantified. The core concepts of statistics are applicable across a wide range of discliplines from data science, bioinformatics and even physics (mechanics, etc). Statistics is also crucial for research and experiments as it provides confidence in outcomes of the project and defines research design.
