The first two chapters introduce the basic concepts and techniques in probability theory, including the calculus of probability, conditional probability, independence of events, Bayes's Theorem. The next three chapters contain the concepts of the random variables, probability distributions, transformations, expectation, moments, the most important discrete and continuous distributions and the properties of these concepts. Chapter 6 develops the notions of multivariate random variables (random vectors), independence of random variables, conditional distributions, conditional expectation and the basic concepts of random simulation. Chapter 7 contains some mixed areas: standard probability inequalities, law of large numbers and the central limit theorem.
The remainder of the notes systematically develops the concepts of statistical inference. The sample, statistics are defined in Chapter 8. This chapter contains the basic statistics and Glivenko's theorem. The point estimator, the confidence interval, the Cramer-Rao inequality, the method of moment estimator, maximum likelihood estimator are developed in Chapter 9. Two-sided alternative hypotheses, likelihood ratio and chi squared tests are developed in Chapter 10. Chapters 9 and 10 present the basic ideas of large sample confidence intervals and test procedures.
The prerequisite is one year's worth of calculus. That should be enough to understand a major portion of the notes. There are sections for which some familiarity with linear algebra, multiple integration and partial differentiation will be beneficial.
