Prerequisite: **345.

{Alternate Falls}

A detailed overview of methods commonly used to analyze medical and epidemiological data. Topics include the Kaplan-Meier estimate of the survivor function, models for censored survival data, the Cox proportional hazards model, methods for categorical response data including logistic regression and probit analysis, generalized linear models.

Prerequisite: 528 or 540.

Tools for multivariate analysis including multivariate ANOVA, principal components analysis, discriminant analysis, cluster analysis, factor analysis, structural equations modeling, canonical correlations and multidimensional scaling.

Prerequisite: 528 or 540.

{Offered upon demand}

An introduction to Bayesian methodology and applications. Topics covered include: probability review, Bayes’ theorem, prior elicitation, Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques. The free software programs WinBUGS and R will be used for data analysis.

Prerequisite: (527 or 540) and 561.

{Alternate Springs}

Introduction to time domain and frequency domain models of time series. Data analysis with emphasis on Box-Jenkins methods. Topics such as multivariate models; linear filters; linear prediction; forecasting and control.

Prerequisite: 561.

{Alternate Springs}

Nonparametric regression, density estimation, filtering, spectral density estimation, image reconstruction and pattern recognition. Tools include orthogonal series, kernels, splines, wavelets and neural networks. Applications to medicine, engineering, biostatistics and economics.

Prerequisite: 561.

{Offered upon demand}

A detailed examination of essential statistical computing skills needed for research and industrial work. Students will use S-Plus, Matlab and SAS® to develop algorithms for solving a variety of statistical problems using resampling and simulation techniques such as the bootstrap, Monte Carlo methods and Markov chain methods for approximating probability distributions. Applications to linear and non-linear models will be stressed.

Prerequisite: 528.
