Statistics 244SC - Intermediate Topics in Statistics: 'Statistical Computing'

This is an intermediate course in statistical computing and theory using R software. Computational statistics is a rapidly expanding area in statistical research and applications. This course uses R for graphics and simulations. It focuses on a non-calculus-based approach to understanding theoretical statistical concepts through a simulation-based approach. Students will gain knowledge and experience in writing both simple and more advanced simulations in R. It also introduces some other topics such as missing data, resampling methods and numerical methods.

Prereq: STAT-140.
