This course is a continuation of the legislative analysis part of the Statistics III course. It develops, in a pedagogical manner, a set of basic methods of continuous theoretical distributions to one- or two-character variables. This course also covers inferential statistics, with a particular focus on estimation theory and hypothesis testing theory. The theory of estimation is concerned with estimating the relationships of dependence between several economic variables, hence the usefulness of the estimation theory as a necessary tool for economic analysis. In hypothesis testing theory, formulating hypotheses relating to several statistical significance tests is involved. The contribution of these concepts for economists lies in their application to real economic data. By the end of this course, students will have the essential knowledge required for the Econometrics course which will allow them to analyze the statistical results of different models. The practical exercises are carried out using Python and Excel softwares.
