Bayesian Statistics is an alternative to Frequentist statistics. Bayesian inference uses probability for both hypotheses and data. In Bayesian statistics, population parameters are considered random variables having probability distributions. The probabilities measure a degree of belief in the parameters. Bayes¿ theorem is used to reformulate the beliefs using observed data. This course introduces the Bayesian approach to statistical inference and describes effective approaches to Bayesian modeling and computation.

MATH/STAT 455/555 and STAT 450/550, or consent

Most statistical analysis and modeling techniques involve assumptions about the independence of the data. However, many real life data occur in the form of time series where observations are dependent. In this course, we will concentrate on both univariate and multivariate time series analysis and model building strategies with time dependent data. Available software will be used to complete the data analysis projects with a balance between theory and applications.

Prerequisites:
MATH/STAT 455/555 and MATH/STAT 450/550, with "C" (2.0) or better, or consent.
Areas of Interest:
