- Assistance: Hans Reimann and Timo Dörzbach
Links: Moodle (The page will be made accessible a couple of days prior to the first seminar.)
Description
The seminar will consist of student presentations about different concentration inequalities and their application in mathematical statistics. Some prior knowledge on mathematical statistics, e.g. Statistik 1, will be required, however, please simply get in touch when unsure whether this seminar is for you. The seminar will be in a block format with two initial sessions, a final presentations session and individual consultations in between. All further details and questians as well as assigning presentation topics will be discussed in the two initial seminar sessions.Dates and Location
