Introduction to Statistics Theory

STA 4322 : Section 5283

Summer B, 2005

Instructor: Sourish Saha

 

 

Course Outline: Credits: 3; Pre-req: STA 4321 or equivalent

 

This is a direct continuation of STA 4321. It provides basic background material for distribution theory,

estimation, hypothesis testing, linear regression analysis, and analysis of variance. A good knowledge

of calculus will be very helpful.
