In this course we shall study Non-parameteric statistical inference. This is different from parametric Statistical Inference as here the underlying distribution is assumed to be unknown. Also, these work when the population is not Normally distributed. It has major applications in many practical situations. Also, is used in Data Science and Machine Learning.INTENDED AUDIENCE :B.Sc /B.Tech students in Statistics, maths& Computing/ Comp. Sc. PREREQUISITES : Basic understanding of Statistics and ProbabilityINDUSTRIES SUPPORT :Any company that deal with data will need this
