Statistics
STAT 5501      Statistical Design Of Experiments
This course is designed to present a variety of experimental design techniques to students with moderate mathematical and statistical background. The course includes three major components: efficient factorial designs, linear and quadratic process optimization of the location parameter, and variability reduction. Students will be trained to use the SPSS statistical software package. Prerequisite: STAT 436 or consent of instructor

STAT 5537      Mathematical Statistics I
Probability theory, distribution functions, sampling, statistical inference, topics in advanced applied statistics. Prerequisite: MATH 402 or consent of the instructor. Note: Continued in STAT 5547.

STAT 5551      Applied Statistical Analysis
Methods for analyzing data from experiments and observational studies; design-based and model-based inferences; model assessment; ANOVA; power analysis; SAS procedures. Prerequisites: STAT 436 or consent of instructor Offered: Every other Winter

STAT 5561      Time Series Analysis
This course is intended to present the basis knowledge (including models, methods and concepts) of time series analysis to students with a good background in intermediate mathematical statistics. Some elementary knowledge of basic linear regression anlysis would be helpful but not necessary. The presentation will be balanced between theory and data analysis, with sufficient theory to understand the basis of methods and a broad variety of models and many real data examples. Case studies will be drawn from business and economics, network traffic and meteorology, and data will be analyzed by students using existing computer programs (SAS, Minitab and R). Students are also expected to understand proper use and limits of time series models. Prerequisites: STAT 441 or consent of instructor note: This course will be offered every other winter.
