Aims
Second cycle course of general education in mathematical statistics.

Main themes
General presentation of the statistical model. Sufficient statistic and exponential family.
Theory of point estimation: use for sufficiency and completeness.
Construction of estimators: maximum likelihood method, asymptotic equivalence.
Construction of confidence regions: exact and asymptotic regions.
Theory of hypothesis tests: Neyman-Pearson lemma, likelihood ratio tests, Rao statistic, Wald statistic. Applications to the exponential family models,
and to problems encountered in the first cycle course.
