Statistics (STAT)

Courses

STAT 0826. Statistics in the News. 4 Credit Hours.

This is a non-technical course for a diverse audience not geared to any particular major. It introduces the art and science of decision-making in the presence of uncertainty. Students learn how to understand, evaluate, and criticize information from surveys and scientific studies encountered in newspapers, magazines, textbooks, and scholarly journals, how to distinguish between informative and misleading uses of statistics in the popular media, and how to make informed decisions in the face of complexity and uncertainty. The focus is on understanding statistics and statistical ideas, not on statistical methodology (although this is also part of the course). Numerous supportive examples taken from a variety of fields in the social, behavioral, and natural sciences accompany each method and concept. NOTE: This course fulfills the Quantitative Literacy (GQ) requirement for students under GenEd and a Quantitative Reasoning (QA or QB) requirement for students under Core.

STAT 3506. Nonparametric and Categorical Data Analysis. 3 Credit Hours.

This course covers estimation and testing of hypotheses when the functional form of the population distribution is not completely specified. The topics also include sampling models and analyses for discrete data: Fisher's exact test, logistic regression, ROC analysis, log-linear models and Poisson regression, conditional logistic regression, Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test, measures of agreement between observers, quasi-independence, multinomial logit models, proportional odds model, association models, generalized estimating equations (GEE). Students work with R and SAS throughout the semester.

Repeatability: This course may not be repeated for additional credits.

STAT 4596. Capstone: Statistical Science and Data Analytics. 3 Credit Hours.

The purpose of the capstone project is for the students to apply theoretical knowledge acquired during the program to a real project involving actual data in a realistic setting. During the project, students engage in the entire process of solving a real-world data science project: from collecting and processing actual data, to applying a suitable and appropriate analytic method to the problem. Both the problem statements for the project assignments and the datasets originate from real-world domains similar to those that students might typically encounter within industry, government, NGO, or academic research. The project will culminate with both an in-class presentation and final research paper.
