This course covers the main designs and estimation techniques used in sample surveys: simple random sampling, stratification, cluster sampling, double sampling, post-stratification, ratio estimation, and non response and other non sampling errors. Conceptual discussion in lectures is supplemented with hands-on practice in applied data-analysis tasks using R statistical software.Prerequisites: STAT 3120.

This course develops fundamental concepts and methodology in the design and analysis of experiments. Topics include analysis of variance, multiple comparison tests, completely randomized designs, the general linear model approach to ANOVA, randomized block designs, Latin square and related designs, completely randomized factorial designs with two or more treatments, hierarchical designs, split-plot and confounded factorial designs, and analysis of covariance. Conceptual discussion in lectures is supplemented with hands-on practice in applied data-analysis tasks using SAS or R statistical software.

Studies experimental designs for randomized clinical trials, sources of bias in clinical studies, informed consent, logistics, and interim monitoring procedures (group sequential and Bayesian methods). Prerequisite: A basic statistics course (MATH 3120/5100) or instructor permission.

This course develops fundamental methodology to the analysis of categorical data. Topics include contingency tables, generalized linear models, logistic regression, and logit and loglinear models. Conceptual discussion in lectures is supplemented with hands-on practice in applied data-analysis tasks using SAS or R statistical software.Prerequisite: Graduate standing in Statistics, or instructor permission.

This course develops fundamental methodology to the analysis of longitudinal data. Topics include data structures, modeling the mean and covariance, estimation and inference with respect to the marginal models, linear mixed-effects models, and generalized linear mixed-effects models. Conceptual discussion in lectures is supplemented with hands-on practice in applied data-analysis tasks using SAS or R statistical software. Prerequisite: STAT 6120 and graduate standing in Statistics.

This course provides a platform for exploring advanced statistical modeling and analysis techniques through the lens of state-of-the-art sports analytics. Prerequisite: A prior course in mathematical statistics, a prior course in regression, and a prior course in programming.

Students will work in teams on a capstone project. The project will involve significant data preparation and analysis of data, preparation of a comprehensive project report, and presentation of results. Many projects will come from external clients who have data analysis challenges. Prerequisite: A prior course in regression and a prior course in programming. This course is restricted to Statistics majors in their final year.

Reading and study programs in areas of interest to individual students. For students interested in topics not covered in regular courses. Students must obtain a faculty advisor to approve and direct the program.

Research into current statistical problems under faculty supervision.

In this course, students will read, present, and discuss research papers on topics that are closed related to faculty's research interests, so that students have understandings of research profiles in the department and start to approach faculty members for thesis advising based on their interests developed in this topic course. This course helps the students to transition from course taking to thesis research. Topics will vary from term to term.
