AMS 597: Statistical Computing

Objectives:
To introduce students to some basic elements of statistical computing and computational statistics. Students are expected to know statistical concepts including ANOVA, regression analysis, etc before taking the course. This course is divided into two main parts. The first part covers R and SAS implementation of important statistical models. The second part covers computational statistics including numerical analysis, Monte Carlo methods, bootstrap, permutation, etc.
