The instructors teach this core course at an undergraduate and postgraduate level. The eight-week FDP training is approved by AICTE and permits credit transfer as well.

During the Statistical Inference training, candidates will learn about the fundamental knowledge related to statistical inference and probability. The course aims at providing in-depth information about the theory of estimation and testing hypotheses. Candidates will learn the course content through the theoretical and practical aspects by solving complex problems.

The Statistical Inference online course is valuable for practitioners or students in statistics at a UG or PG level. The training will act as a foundation course for the students working on areas related to machine learning. Candidates need to have a general knowledge of probability, data collection, and descriptive statistics to understand the content without any difficulty.

Eligibility Criteria

For the ease of comprehending the Statistical Inference certification syllabus, participants must have basic knowledge of probability, descriptive statistics, and data collection. 

Certification qualifying details 

The candidates must hand in eight internal assessments, and the faculty will pick the six best among these. In these assignments, students must hold a minimum of 10 on 25 marks. Similarly, of the 75 marks in the external exam, it is mandatory to get at least 30 marks. The final score for the Statistical Inference training would consist of 75% of the exam grades and 25% of the assessment grades.
