Course Description

Overview

Explore a comprehensive video series on transformations of random variables in statistics. Learn techniques for handling discrete and continuous, univariate and multivariate random variables. Master methods like CDF technique, change of variable, and multivariate transformations. Dive into specific transformations involving various distributions such as Uniform, Normal, Binomial, Gamma, Beta, Cauchy, and Chi-square. Study advanced topics including order statistics, linear transformations of random vectors, orthogonal transformations, and the independence of sample mean and variance in normal distributions. Gain practical insights through examples like comparing adverse event rates and proving statistical theorems.
