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 emphasizes practical aspects of conducting sample surveys. Some of the sample survey designs that are examined include simple random sampling, stratified random sampling, systematic sampling and cluster sampling. The course also deals with Horvitz-Thompson estimator as well as ratio and regression type estimators. The statistical software R is used throughout the course and applications to real-life data are an integral part of the course.

Requisite courses

STAT-1302 or STAT-2001 [prerequisite(s)].

Note

This course is of interest not only to Statistics majors but also to students of Business, Economics, Sociology, Environmental Sciences and other social sciences.
