Discrete Random Variable Course
This course equips you to handle discrete random variables for everyday count data analysis. You will learn to construct, fit, and validate Binomial, Poisson, and Negative Binomial models, assess uncertainty levels, and convert probability results into straightforward, actionable business recommendations that drive decisions.

What will I learn?
Gain mastery over discrete random variables through this targeted course, progressing from gathering data and creating empirical pmfs to selecting, fitting, and verifying Binomial, Poisson, and Negative Binomial models. You will compute essential probabilities, analyse count data, evaluate model fit, measure uncertainty, and effectively share practical insights with stakeholders using real business scenarios.
