This is a PhD level course on probability theory.
Course Description
The course is structured in three parts.
- We first review integration theory before laying out the measure-theoretic foundation of probability theory.
- We then introduce important concepts and tools that deal with a sequence or a series of random variables.
- We introduce the modern theory of conditional expectation/distribution/independence.
