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-3904 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 introduces modern techniques of statistical computing for practical analysis of data using the statistical software R. Topics include random number generation, an introduction to resampling methods, classical and Bayesian inference and Monte Carlo methods, methods of finding roots, numerical integration methods, expectation-maximization, and Markov chain Monte Carlo. All statistical principles are illustrated using simulated and real-life data sets.

Requisite courses

STAT-2903 or STAT-3103 [prerequisite(s)]; STAT-3612 or MATH-3612 (must be taken previously or at the same time as this course).
