This course provides a forum for training in statistical consulting. Application of statistical methods to real problems, as well as interpersonal and communication aspects of consulting are explored in the consulting environment. Students enrolled in this class will become eligible to conduct consulting projects as consultants in the Statistical Consulting and Collaboration Services group in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics.

This course introduces students to advanced statistical methods in the context of applications with high social impact. It helps students learn about the technical aspects of these methods, as well as the critical statistical thinking skills necessary to relate methods to applied contexts. It also includes horizontally- and vertically-integrated components to support communication skills across disciplines and experience levels. In this course, advanced statistical methods are methods that follow or build on multiple linear regression.

This course discusses two modern statistical methods: bootstrap inference and conformal prediction. These data-driven methods quantify uncertainty of estimated parameters and predicted responses. Compared to traditional statistical methods, they make fewer assumptions on the data generation process and thus are applicable to a wider variety of settings. This class covers both concepts and mathematical theories, and you will apply these methods in real examples using R software.

This course will introduce computing tools needed for statistical analysis including data acquisition from database, data exploration and analysis, numerical analysis and result presentation. Advanced topics include parallel computing, simulation and optimization, and package creation. The class will be taught in a modern statistical computing language.

Planning, statistical analysis and interpretation of experiments. Designs considered include factorial designs, randomized blocks, latin squares, incomplete balanced blocks, nested and crossover designs, mixed models. Has a strong applied component involving the use of a statistical package for data analysis. Prerequisite: previous coursework in statistics.

Regression analysis is the most popularly used statistical technique with application in almost every imaginable field. The focus of this course is on a careful understanding and of regression models and associated methods of statistical inference, data analysis, interpretation of results, statistical computation and model building.
