Where STAT-3501 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 is designed to show students how a computer can be utilized to model phenomena with stochastic elements and how analysis can be carried out in the context of a simulation study. Topics will be drawn from the following: generating an arbitrary random variable; the discrete event simulation approach; variance reduction techniques; statistical validation techniques; bootstrapping and other resampling methods; statistical analysis of simulated data; and simulation languages.

Requisite courses

STAT-2612 or MATH-2612 (or the former MATH-3611 or STAT-3611) and STAT-2903 or permission of the instructor [prerequisite(s)].
