Course Overview

In Non-Parametric Statistical Inference, as opposed to Parametric Statistical Inference, we do not know the underlying distribution. Parametric Inference also uses samples from the population to estimate the distribution parameters. However, the assumptions of Parametric Inference, such as normality, independence, and homoscedasticity may not always be accurate.

In this case, non-parametric information is used. The Course in Non-Parametric Statistical Inference by Swayam will help the candidates to fill in the gaps of parametric statistics as non-parametric methods can be used for different inferencing purposes. The simple non-parametric techniques can help you to establish a hypothesis.

The Non-Parametric Statistical Inference online programme has several practical applications in real life. This is an ongoing, undergraduate-level course that spans four weeks. The course will be taught by a faculty member from the esteemed Mathematics Department of IIT, Delhi. Moreover, this course is entirely free of cost, and the paid certificate is optional.

The Non-Parametric Statistical Inference course is free to learn from. Candidates only need to pay Rs. 1000 as the exam fee if they want a course certificate.

Eligibility Criteria

Candidates who are interested in pursuing the Non-Parametric Statistical Inference course must have a basic understanding of Statistics and Probability.

Moreover, candidates who wish to receive the course certificate must sit for the exam after paying the exam fee. Firstly, the candidates have to complete and submit the four assignments during the course.

The 25% average of the best three assignments, along with a minimum of 75% score in the proctored exam is necessary to get the certificate. The candidates will be eligible for the certification only if their final exam score >= 30/75 and average assignment score >= 10/25.
