The mini-course on probabilistic tools for statistics, taught by Prof. Xavier Bressaud (Institute of Mathematic, Toulouse University, France) has organized at VIASM on May 18, 2015. This course is one of the activities of the series on Probability and Statistics at VIASM in 2015 and it lasts until May 21.

The course consists of lectures in the morning and computer practice sessions in the afternoon of each day in the period.

The content of the course is about probability tools that can be useful in statistics. It goes from conditional expectation to martingale through Markov processes (chains, particle systems, …) or Poisson processes.

On the computer, students practise to implement more or less sophisticated probabilistic models (using mostly Scilab).

The mini-course has attracted more than 30 teachers and students from universities in Vietnam.
