Advanced Statistics and Probability Models

This course covers probability and statistics relevant to examining or modelingdata related to complex systems, especially those involving time series. The probability portion of the course will cover probability models, including basic stochastic models. The statistical portion of the course will include hypothesis testing (distribution dependent and non-distribution dependent), estimation of parameters, and inference testing as used in the field. The use of a statistical package to present and analyze data will be an important course component.
