The Open University is the worlds leading provider of flexible, high quality distance learning.
Unlike other universities we are not campus based. You will study in a flexible way that works for you whether youre at home, at work or on the move.As an OU student you'll be supported throughout your studies your tutor or study adviser will guide and advise you, offer detailed feedback on your assignments, and help with any study issues.
Tuition might be in face-to-face groups, via online tutorials, or by phone.
This online module provides you with the mathematical underpinning for practical applications of statistical techniques, and interpretation of data and statistical analyses.

Mathematical statistics
<div><p>This online module provides you with the mathematical underpinning for statistical methods in general and ? in particular ? for other OU statistics modules. You will gain a thorough grounding in mathematical statistics, together with generic skills. You will study distribution theory, leading on to the theory of statistical inference developed under both classical and Bayesian approaches. In the classical case, you will focus on maximum likelihood estimation. You'll also explore the development of these ideas in the context of linear modelling (regression and extensions). To study this module, you should have a sound knowledge of basic statistical ideas and competence in calculus, algebra and matrices, as provided by the appropriate OU level 1 and 2 study.</p></div>
