619 STATISTICS
The 220 unit is designed for students majoring in psychology, economics, education, or any of the biological sciences. This course, which requires a slightly lower level of mathematics than Statistics 210, is designed to provide a basic understanding of the methods of applied statistics.
210 PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS
Students who do not meet the above requirements, but who achieve very good results in other areas, may, on the recommendation of the chairman of the Department of Statistics, be considered for admission to the fourth year. Unit 250, which consists of the probability component of 210, is intended for students who have taken Statistics 220 and would like to progress to some of the more theoretical 300-level Statistics units, particularly 301 and 302. ii) Statistical Inference: Estimation of parameters of probability distributions; desirable characteristics of estimators—consistency, impartiality, and efficiency.
220 STATISTICAL METHODS
Details of some common statistical tests, including contingency tables, goodness-of-fit tests, and some non-distribution tests. iii) Statistical analysis: linear regression and the method of least squares. General Linear Model Theory and Applications — with special emphasis on regression problems, including multiple and polynomial regression, analysis of one-way and two-way classifications, and analysis of standard statistical experiments.
230 OPERATIONS RESEARCH
Particular reference is made to the case of sampling from a normal distribution for which the t-, x2- and F-distributions are required. The study of some standard experimental designs, including randomized block, balanced incomplete block, and 2k factorial experiments.
