Where STAT-2102 counts

Required by 2 programs:

  • STAT 4-YEAR BA/BSc IN STATISTICS
  • STAT 4-YEAR BA/BSc IN STATISTICS

Counts toward 1 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:

  • STAT 3-YEAR BA/BSc IN STATISTICS

Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 71 of 141 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.

Description

The contents include classical decision-making, utility for money, statistical and Bayesian decision-making, decision trees, index numbers and their properties, elementary quality control, and decomposition of time series and seasonal and cyclical analysis. Emphasis will be on having students communicate effectively through essays and term projects.
