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.
