STAT 789
Advanced Topics in Statistics: Topics in Applied Statistics
Summer 2002
STAT 789, Advanced Topics in Statistics, is offered from time to time,
with different topics being the subject matter of the course.
For some offerings, the
entire course deals with a specific topic, and is quite focused. In
other instances, as will be the case this summer, the course touches on
a rather wide variety of topics.
