This course provides an introduction to the probability & statistical theory underlying the estimation of parameters & testing of statistical hypotheses, including those in the context of simple & multiple regression Applications are drawn from economics, business, & other fields. No prior knowledge of statistics is required. Highly Recommended: Prior experience with calculus I; Co-requisite: Concurrent enrollment in a lab section of STAT 2120.

This course introduces topics in time series analysis as they relate to financial data. Topics include properties of financial data, moving average and ARMA models, exponential smoothing, ARCH and GARCH models, volatility models, case studies in linear time series, high frequency financial data, and value at risk. Prerequisite: A prior course in probability, a prior course in regression, and a prior course in programming.

This course provides a calculus-based introduction to mathematical statistics with some applications. Topics include: sampling theory, point estimation, interval estimation, testing hypotheses, linear regression, correlation, analysis of variance, and categorical data. Prerequisite: A prior course in probability.

This course introduces main designs & estimation techniques used in sample surveys; including simple random sampling, stratification, cluster sampling, double sampling, post-stratification, ratio estimation; non-response problems, measurement errors. Properties of sample surveys are developed through simulation procedures. Prerequisite: A prior course in statistics.

Studies the basic time series models in both the time domain (ARMA models) and the frequency domain (spectral models), emphasizing application to real data sets. Conceptual discussion in lectures is supplemented with hands-on practice in applied data-analysis tasks using SAS or R statistical software. Prerequisite: STAT 3120

This course includes a basic treatment of probability, and covers inference for one and two populations, including both hypothesis testing and confidence intervals. Analysis of variance and linear regression are also covered. Applications are drawn from biology and medicine. No prior knowledge of statistics is required. Co-requisite: Concurrent enrollment in a lab section of STAT 2020.

This course studies introductory statistics and probability, visual methods for summarizing quantitative information, basic experimental design and sampling methods, ethics and experimentation, causation, and interpretation of statistical analyzes. Applications use data drawn from various current sources, including journals and news. No prior knowledge of statistics is required. Students will not receive credit for both STAT 1100 and STAT 1120.

This course introduces methods to approach uncertainty and variation inherent in elementary statistical techniques from multiple angles. Simulation techniques such as the bootstrap will also be used. Conceptual discussion in lectures is supplemented with hands-on practice in applied data-analysis tasks using R. Prerequisite: A prior course in statistics and a prior course in programming.

This course introduces fundamental concepts in probability that underlie statistical thinking and methodology. Topics include the probability framework, canonical probability distributions, transformations, expectation, moments and momentgenerating functions, parametric families, elementary inequalities, multivariate distributions, and convergence concepts for sequences of random variables.Prerequisite:Graduate standing in Statistics, or instructor permission.

Course develops fundamental methodology to regression and linear-models analysis in general. Topics include model fitting and inference, partial and sequential testing, variable selection, transformations, diagnostics for influential observations, multicollinearity, and regression in nonstandard settings. Conceptual discussion in lectures is supplemented withhands-on practice in applied data-analysis tasks using SAS or R statistical software.Prerequisite: Graduate standing in Statistics, or instructor permission.
