STAT-42023 credit hours

Statistical Inference

Statistics · 3 hrs Lecture

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.

STAT-4202 prerequisites

21 courses appear in this chain, up to 6 levels deep. Every route through it involves a choice, so nothing is forced. Unless you get permission, 3 more are needed: MATH-1201 → MATH-2105 → MATH-2106.

Some branches run deeper than shown, open a course to follow it further.

Add your completed courses to see which of these you've already done and what you could take next. They stay on this device.

Where STAT-4202 counts

Required by 2 programs:

STAT 4-YEAR BA/BSc IN STATISTICS
STAT 4-YEAR BA/BSc IN STATISTICS (DATA SCIENCE STREAM)

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 50 of 208 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 expands on Mathematical Statistics II. Topics include the following: Theory of point and interval estimations; completeness and minimal sufficiency, Rao-Blackwell theorem; theory of tests and hypotheses; likelihood ratio tests; unbiased and invariant tests; sequential probability ratio tests; and Bayesian Inference.

Requisite courses

STAT-3612 or MATH-3612 or permission of the instructor [prerequisite(s)].
