Stat courses of possible interest to BIOF/GSAT students‏

The Statistics Department offers courses that may be of interest to graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and researchers in other units.
The 2013-14 courses are listed in the attached document, with more information on-line athttp://www.stat.ubc.ca/lib/FCKuserfiles//Gradbooklet.finalversion.pdf

The undergraduate course, STAT300, may also be of interest:
STAT 300: Intermediate Statistics for Applications The Department of Statistics would like to draw your attention to STAT 300, a course offered in its revised form for the first time last year. The course aims to be a general second course in Statistics, accessible to any student who has taken a traditional introductory course in the subject (such as STAT 200, BIOL 300, COMM 291). After reviewing and reinforcing introductory ideas, STAT 300 progresses to material that naturally follows from a first course (such as goodness-of-fit, nonparametric methods, multiple regression, aspects of experimental design, and elementary time series analysis) as well as some modern computationally intensive methods (permutation tests and the bootstrap). Instruction is via interactive group-based activities, and the focus is on appreciating the statistical concepts rather than the underlying mathematics. Students learn how to implement all methods encountered in the statistical software R.
