APPLIED MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS

STAT 456

Course Description

Theory and applications of multivariate statistical methods. Basic concepts and statistical reasoning which underlie the techniques of multivariate analysis. Ideas rather than derivations stressed although basic models discussed to provide a sense of adequacy in particular situations. Acquaintance with and use of existing computer programs in the multivariate analysis area.

STATISTICAL METHODS II

STAT 602

Provides a thorough grounding in modern statistical methods. The specific learning outcomes for the course are to understand data collection in context (how/why data were collected, key questions under study); explore data by effective graphical and numerical summaries; understand probability concepts and models as tools for studying random phenomena and for statistical inference; analyze data using appropriate, modern statistical models, methods, and software; understand the statistical concepts underlying methods; develop the ability to interpret results and critically evaluate the methods used; communicate data analysis and key findings in context.
