Course content
Exploratory data analysis. Moment statistical characteristics. Quantile statistical characteristics. Probabilistic models with application in the financial practice. Point estimates of selected probability models. Use of goodness-of-fit tests. Generalized Pareto distribution with applications in the financial practice. Probabilistic models of extreme values. Proportional numbers of development - absolute increments, growth coefficients, calculation of their averages. Chain and basic indices and their mutual relation. Indices are used in the financial sector.

Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to expand students' knowledge of the course Probability and Statistics to selected statistical methods that have significant use in the financial sector, using software MS Excel and Statistics. Emphasis is placed on the ability of practical application of these methods and comprehensible and correct interpretation of the obtained results.
A student who has completed the course can: use exploratory data analysis tools; use probability models with applications in the financial field; use goodness-of-fit tests; characterize individual types of indices. A student who has completed the course will be able to: practically apply methods of exploratory data analysis and use selected probabilistic models for application tasks in the financial field using MS Excel or Statistica software; select, calculate and interpret appropriate indices used for statistical comparisons; interpret the obtained results. A student who has completed the course is able to: clearly and correctly communicate the content of the obtained results to the lay and professional public.
