INTRODUCTION TO PROBABILITY AND MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS II

MATH/STAT 310
Course Description

Mathematical statistical inference aims at providing an understanding of likelihood's central role to statistical inference, using the language of mathematical statistics to analyze statistical procedures, and using the computer as a tool for understanding statistics. Specific topics include: samples and populations, estimation, hypothesis testing, and theoretical properties of statistical inference.

INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTATIONAL STATISTICS

COMPSCI/STAT 471

Classical statistical procedures arise where closed-form mathematical expressions are available for various inference summaries (e.g. linear regression; analysis of variance). A major emphasis of modern statistics is the development of inference principles in cases where both more complex data structures are involved and where more elaborate computations are required. Topics from numerical linear algebra, optimization, Monte Carlo (including Markov chain Monte Carlo), and graph theory are developed, especially as they relate to statistical inference (e.g., bootstrapping, permutation, Bayesian inference, EM algorithm, multivariate analysis).
