Past Courses

• AMCS5999 - Independent Study

  Independent Study allows students to pursue academic interests not available in regularly offered courses. Students must consult with their academic advisor to formulate a project directly related to the student’s research interests. All independent study courses are subject to the approval of the AMCS Graduate Group Chair.

• AMCS9950 - Dissertation

  Allows for a PhD student to be enrolled full-time to work exclusively on research, writing and preparing his/her doctoral thesis and defense. All required coursework (20 CUs) must be completed, and the student must have passed his/her thesis proposal/oral candidacy examination prior to being enrolled.

• AMCS9990 - Masters Thesis

  For students writing a Master's Thesis to fulfill the program's requirements. All required coursework (8 CUs) must be completed prior to being enrolled.

• AMCS9999 - Ind Study & Research

  Study under the direction of a faculty member.

• MATH4990 - Supervised Study

  Study under the direction of a faculty member. Intended for a limited number ofmathematics majors.

• MATH5999 - Independent Study

• STAT4310 - Statistical Inference

  Graphical displays; one- and two-sample confidence intervals; one- and two-sample hypothesis tests; one- and two-way ANOVA; simple and multiple linear least-squares regression; nonlinear regression; variable selection; logistic regression; categorical data analysis; goodness-of-fit tests. A methodology course. This course does not have business applications but has significant overlap with STAT 1010 and 1020. This course may be taken concurrently with the prerequisite with instructor permission.

• STAT4320 - Mathematical Statistics

  An introduction to the mathematical theory of statistics. Estimation, with a focus on properties of sufficient statistics and maximum likelihood estimators. Hypothesis testing, with a focus on likelihood ratio tests and the consequent development of "t" tests and hypothesis tests in regression and ANOVA. Nonparametric procedures. This course may be taken concurrently with the prerequisite with instructor permission.

• STAT5110 - Statistical Inference

  Graphical displays; one- and two-sample confidence intervals; one- and two-sample hypothesis tests; one- and two-way ANOVA; simple and multiple linear least-squares regression; nonlinear regression; variable selection; logistic regression; categorical data analysis; goodness-of-fit tests. A methodology course.

• STAT9700 - Mathematical Statistics

  Decision theory and statistical optimality criteria, sufficiency, point estimation and hypothesis testing methods and theory.

• STAT9910 - Sem in Adv Appl of Stat

  This seminar is for graduate students who wish to learn about current research frontiers. It covers advanced topics in probability, statistical theory and methods, applied statistics, data science and artificial intelligence. Specific topics vary from year to year and emphasize both theoretical foundations and applications.
