Prereq- Math 102. Also offered as CAAM 381 001 TBA Olofsson, Peter Enr: 0 Max: NA STAT 410 INTRO STATISTICAL COMPUTING & REGRESSION Credits 3.00 Spring 00 A survey of statistical methods with emphasis on computing and computing environments, focusing on applied regression.

Theory of point estimation; Set estimation; Hypothesis testing; Linear models; Asymptotics; Decision theory; Bayesian Theory. Prereq- Stat 431. 001 TBA Staff Enr: 0 Max: NA STAT 450 PRACTICUM IN STATISTICAL MODELING Credits 3.00 Spring 00 Prereq- Stat 310 and one of 305 or 410,421, 431, or 432 required. 001 TBA - MW 09:00AM - 09:50AM Baggett, Larry Scott Enr: 0 Max: NA STAT 486 MARKET MODULS Credits 3.00 Spring 00 This course takes the classical efficient market models and superimposes upon it models for other stochastic phenomena not generally accounted for in efficient market theory. It shows how risk can be lessened by portfolios and other mechanism. It discusses reasons why the Black-Scholes option pricing model (which won the 1997 Nobel Prize in Economics) is fragile to departures from efficient market theory. The course is oriented toward using computer simulations as an alternative to closed form solutions. Requirements: STAT 305, 310 or near equivalent. Prereq- linear algebra and Stat 481. 001 TBA - TTH 10:50AM - 12:05PM Thompson, James R.

Enr: 0 Max: NA STAT 546 DESIGN & ANALYSIS OF EXPERIMENTS Credits 3.00 Spring 00 Given a response Y, which is affected by some predictor variables X, we would like to estimate the effects in as unequivocal a manner as possible. Experimental design addresses the question of how to allocate a finite amount of resources (experimental runs) so as to resolve the effects of each input as quickly as possible.
