STATISTICS (STAT)<br />
Department <strong>of</strong> Mathematics and Statistics<br />
STAT 5103 - Applied Experimental Design<br />
Topics for this course basic concepts <strong>of</strong> experiments and experimental<br />
error, analysis <strong>of</strong> variance <strong>of</strong> one-, two-, and three-way classifications,<br />
and nonparametic statistics. Prerequisite(s): STAT 3103 with<br />
a minimum grade <strong>of</strong> “C”.<br />
STAT 5123 - Mathematical Statistics II<br />
This course will introduce and investigate the central limit theorem,<br />
distribution about the mean, Student’s-t, chi-squared, and Snedecor’s<br />
F-distributions, point and interval estimation, hypothesis testing,<br />
regression and correlation analysis, and analysis <strong>of</strong> variance.<br />
Prerequisite(s): STAT 4113.<br />
STAT 5213 - Applied Regression Analysis<br />
Topics for this course will include multiple regression, logistic regression,<br />
survival analysis, proportional hazard models, and time series<br />
analysis. Data will be analyzed using SAS. Prerequisite(s): STAT 3103.<br />
STAT 5253 - Quality Control<br />
Topics in this course include random samples, frequency distributions<br />
<strong>of</strong> sample data, sampling distributions, sampling acceptance<br />
plans, rectifying inspection, and the general theory <strong>of</strong> control charts.<br />
Prerequisite(s): STAT 4113 or 5113 and 4303.<br />
STAT 5263 - Computer Applications in Statistics<br />
This course will include programming techniques, data organization,<br />
selection and interpretation <strong>of</strong> statistical tests as applied to SPSS<br />
(Statistical Package for Social Studies). Prerequisite(s): STAT 3013<br />
with a minimum grade <strong>of</strong> C.<br />
STAT 5303 - Non-Parametric Statistics<br />
Topics in this course include distribution-free statistics, techniques<br />
<strong>of</strong> hypothesis testing with data drawn from a population that is not<br />
distributed in a particular manner, the binomial test, the sign test,<br />
the median test, the Cochran Q test. Prerequisite(s): STAT 3103 or<br />
4113 or 5113.<br />
STAT 5353 - Probability Theory<br />
This course provides the student with a thorough treatment <strong>of</strong> the<br />
mathematical structure and application <strong>of</strong> probability. Topics include<br />
principles <strong>of</strong> combinatorics, the fundamentals <strong>of</strong> probability, conditional<br />
probability and independence, random variables, mathematical<br />
expectation, the Weak and Strong Laws <strong>of</strong> Large Numbers, and<br />
the <strong>Central</strong> Limit Theorem. Emphasis will be placed upon building<br />
a strong foundation for the more advanced study <strong>of</strong> probability and<br />
statistics. Prerequisite(s): STAT 4113.<br />
STAT 5423 - Data Fitting<br />
Topics in this course include fitting data to a linear equation, a polynomial,<br />
