MAS278: Stochastic Models and Inference
This unit introduces theory for estimation and statistical inference in applied problems involving variation or uncertainty, focusing particularly on basic distribution theory and likelihood methods. Routine statistical methods such as one and two sample tests for means and proportions are derived and justified using this theory. The unit also introduces students to the derivation and implementation of new statistical methods using computer software packages, including spreadsheets, to illustrate the flexibility of likelihood theory.
