STAT 192.     Statistics Capstone Project. 0 Units

Prerequisite(s): Stat 128, Stat 115A, Stat 140A, Stat 191

Term Typically Offered: Spring only

Capstone course for statistics majors. Students work in small groups on a project that brings together skills developed across multiple upper division statistics courses. In a typical project, students will define a complex problem, create a data analysis plan, learn and apply new methodologies, communicate with clients, write statistical reports, and present results to an audience.

Note: Stat 115B is a recommended prerequisite.

STAT 196J.     Statistical Computing. 3 Units

Prerequisite(s): STAT 1 or STAT 50, and MATH 26A or MATH 30

Term Typically Offered: Fall only

Computer methods for accessing, transforming, summarizing, graphing, and making statistical inferences from data. Both a command-line statistical software package such as R and menu-driven package such as SAS will be used. Students will learn to apply computer methods to solve problems selected from the areas of modeling, simulation, inference and statistical learning. The intent of this course is to provide students with the software skills needed for statistical work in industry or academia.

STAT 196L.     Linear Models. 3 Units

Prerequisite(s): (Stat 1 or Stat 50) and (Math 35 or Math 100); an introductory programming course such as Math 64 or Stat 128 is recommended.

Term Typically Offered: Fall, Spring

Practical statistical modeling of data using professional-grade statistical software. Simple and multiple linear regression; analysis of variance; logistic regression; variable transformation; variable selection; model selection; residual analysis.

STAT 196M.     Introduction to Statistical Learning. 3 Units

Prerequisite(s): (Stat 1 or Stat 50) and (Math 35 or Math 100); Math 64, Stat 128, or a similar introductory programming course is recommended. Stat 196L or a similar introductory linear regression course recommended.

Term Typically Offered: Fall, Spring

Practical statistical modeling of data using professional-grade software. Principles, methodologies, and applications of supervised techniques such as classification, resampling, model selection, nonlinear regression, and tree-based methods; unsupervised techniques including clustering and dimension reduction.

STAT 199.     Special Problems. 1 - 6 Units

Term Typically Offered: Fall, Spring
