Where STAT-4401 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 a continuation of Mathematical Statistics I (STAT-3611 (formerly STAT-3201 or Applied Probability STAT-2701)) and is intended to give students a firm foundation in probability theory. Topics include random walks, characteristic functions and central limit theorem concepts of convergence, laws of large numbers, and martingales and stochastic differential equations.

Requisite courses

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