4+1 B.S./M.S., Professional M.S. and Elective Courses
These courses may be taken for the Professional M.S. in Statistics or for the graduate Minor in Statistics. They may not be taken for credit for the M.S. in Statistics or the Ph.D. in Statistics.
5300 Statistical Methods
Introduction to descriptive and inferential statistics. Topics may be selected from the following: descriptive statistics and graphs, probability, regression, correlation, tests of hypotheses, interval estimation, measurement, reliability, experimental design, analysis of variance, nonparametric methods, and multivariate methods.
5301 Introduction to Experimental Design
Prerequisite(s): Graduate standing.
Simple and complex analysis of variance and analysis of covariance designs. The general linear model approach, including full-rank and less than full-rank models, will be emphasized.
5303 Applied Regression Analysis
Pre-requisite(s): STA 5300 or equivalent
Regression modeling, estimation, and diagnostics with emphasis on applications. Topics include simple linear regression, multiple regression, logistic regression, and Poisson regression. The statistical programming language R is used.
5361 Applied Time Series Analysis
Pre-requisite(s) or Co-requisite(s): STA 4385 and STA 3386
Statistical methods of analyzing time series. Model identification, estimation, forecasting, and spectral analysis will be discussed. Applications in a variety of areas including economics and environmental science will be considered. The R statistical programming language will be used.
5370 Applied Sampling Techniques
Pre-requisite(s): Grade of C or better in one of STA 2381 or STA 5300 or equivalent course in statistical methods
Planning, execution, and analysis of sampling from finite populations. Simple random, stratified random, ratio, systematic, cluster, subsampling, regression estimates and multi-frame techniques are covered. Using computer software for analyzing data collected from designs covered in class.
5371 Methods in Data Mining and Management
Pre-requisite(s): STA 3381
This course introduces the methods and practice of data mining.
5373 Computational Statistical Methods
Pre-requisite(s): STA 2381 or STA 3381 or consent of the instructor.
Computational methods using statistical packages and programming.
5376 Methods in Biostatistics
Pre-requisite(s): STA 2381 or STA 5300 or an equivalent course in statistical methods
A survey of methods of data analysis for biostatisticians in the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields. Regression analysis, experimental design, categorical data analysis, clinical trials, longitudinal data, and survival analysis.
5384 Multivariate Statistical Methods
Discriminant analysis, canonical correlation analysis, and multivariate analysis of variance.
