Spring Semester 2010: SSC384 Topic 3 / M384D / CAM384S

This is the second semester of a two-semester course designed to provide a solid theoretical foundation in mathematical statistics.  It focuses on the theory of point estimation, interval estimation, and hypothesis testing. Although this is largely a course in classical methods, some materials on hierarchical models, Bayesian methods, and decision theory are included.

Prerequisite: SSC384 Topic 2 (or M384C or CAM384R) with a grade of B or better or the equivalent. (If you have had a different course that you believe to be equivalent, then you must have the consent of the instructor.)

Textbook:  Statistical Inference by George Casella and Roger L. Berger , second edition. Some additional handouts are provided.

Consent of Instructor Required:  Yes, unless you have just completed UT's SSC 384 Topic 2 (or M384C or CAM384R) with a grade of B or better.

Additional Information:  This course is cross-listed as and Mathematics course M384D and a Computational and Applied Mathematics course CAM 384S.
