Offered: Fall Or Winter, Every Second Year

Hard to catch. Runs only every second year, and the calendar doesn't say which, confirm the next offering with the department before counting on it.

Where STAT-2104 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

This course considers statistical methods for analysing data when the distribution of the population is unknown and/or the measurement is on a nominal, ordinal, or interval scale. The contents include inference based on the binomial distribution, the Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test, the Wilcoxon signed rank test, measures of association for ranked data, the Kruskal-Wallis and Friedman tests, and elements of contingency table analysis.

Requisite courses

STAT-1302, or the former STAT-1201, or both STAT-1501 and STAT-2001 or the former STAT-1601 [prerequisite(s)].
