The course supplements the basic course Probability 1 for expert and practical knowledge which a statistician, but also a probabilitist can need in their own research. As such, the course can be considered as an alternative to Probability 2. It is focused on the conditional probability and conditional expectation in the Kolmogorov sense, on dominated systems of probability distributions, on important probability inequalities and lower/upper bounds, on the contiguity of probability measures, on relations between probability measures, and on the empirical processes.
