Aléatoire : une introduction aux probabilités - Partie 2 (Coursera)

Offered by École Polytechnique,
Aléatoire : une introduction aux probabilités - Partie 2 (Coursera)

Ce cours d'introduction aux probabilités a la même contenu que le cours de tronc commun de première année de l'École polytechnique donné par Sylvie Méléard. Le cours introduit graduellement la notion de variable aléatoire et culmine avec la loi des grands nombres et le théorème de la limite centrale.

Les notions mathématiques nécessaires sont introduites au fil du cours et de nombreux exercices corrigés sont proposés.
Ce cours propose aussi une introduction aux méthodes de simulations des variables aléatoires comme la méthode de Monte Carlo. Des expériences numériques interactives sont également mises à votre disposition pour vous permettre de visualiser diverses notions.

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Vecteurs aléatoires (1/2)
Nous entamons cette semaine le Cours 4 dont le sujet est les vecteurs aléatoires, c'est-à-dire, une collection finie de variables aléatoires réelles, comme par exemple des couples de variables aléatoires. Ce cours s'étend sur deux semaines.

WEEK 2
Vecteurs aléatoires (2/2)
Il s'agit de la suite et de la fin du Cours 4. Nous allons en particulier généraliser le résultat qui nous permet de faire des calculs de lois.

WEEK 3
Convergences et loi des grands nombres (1/2)
Nous entamons le Cours 5 dont l'objet principal est le théorème communément appelé la « loi des grands nombres ». Nous introduirons aussi plusieurs notions de convergence d'une suite de variables aléatoires.

WEEK 4
Convergences et loi des grands nombres (2/2)
Nous terminons le Cours 5 en donnant des exemples d'applications de la loi des grands nombres. Nous introduisons également la méthode de Monte Carlo.

WEEK 5
Fonctions caractéristiques, convergence en loi et théorème de la limite centrale (1/2)
Nous commençons le Cours 6, le dernier de ce MOOC, à cheval sur deux semaines. Cette semaine, on introduit un nouvel outil très puissant : les fonction caractéristiques.

WEEK 6
Fonctions caractéristiques, convergence en loi et théorème de la limite centrale (2/2)
Cette dernière semaine est consacrée au second pilier de la théorie des probabilités : le théorème de la limite centrale. Ce résultat nécessite une nouvelle notion de convergence : la convergence en loi. Nous verrons notamment une application aux intervalles de confiance qui sont utilisés pour les sondages.

Managing Uncertainty in Marketing Analytics (Coursera)

Marketers must make the best decisions based on the information presented to them. Rarely will they have all the information necessary to predict what consumers will do with complete certainty. By incorporating uncertainty into the decisions that they make, they can anticipate a wide range of possible outcomes and recognize the extent of uncertainty on the decisions that they make. In Incorporating Uncertainty into Marketing Decisions, learners will become familiar with different methods to recognize sources of uncertainty that may affect the marketing decisions they ultimately make.

Public Debt Dynamics under Uncertainty (edX)

This online course, presented jointly by the Institute for Capacity Development and the Fiscal Affairs Department, provides an overview of how to assess public debt dynamics under uncertainty. That is, the course discusses how to think about public debt projections when we acknowledge uncertainty about the key variables that underly debt projections (GDP growth, interest and exchange rates, and primary balances).

Introduction to Quantum Information (Coursera)

The course provides an introduction to quantum information at a beginning graduate level. It focuses on the fundamental understanding of how information is processed with quantum systems and how the quantum properties apply to computing and communication tasks. The course begins by presenting quantum theory as the framework of information processing. Quantum systems are introduced with single and two qubits. Axioms of quantum theory such as states, dynamics, and measurements are explained as preparation, evolution, and readout of qubits. Quantum computing and quantum communication are explained.

Initiation à la théorie des distributions (Coursera)

Une fonction discontinue peut-elle être solution d'une équation différentielle? Comment définir rigoureusement la masse de Dirac (une "fonction" d'intégrale un, nulle partout sauf en un point) et ses dérivées? Peut-on définir une notion de "dérivée d'ordre fractionnaire"? Cette initiation aux distributions répond à ces questions - et à bien d'autres.

Bayesian Statistics: Techniques and Models (Coursera)

This is the second of a two-course sequence introducing the fundamentals of Bayesian statistics. It builds on the course Bayesian Statistics: From Concept to Data Analysis, which introduces Bayesian methods through use of simple conjugate models. Real-world data often require more sophisticated models to reach realistic conclusions. This course aims to expand our “Bayesian toolbox” with more general models, and computational techniques to fit them.
