STA 606T, 706T,
806T
Research for Thesis
Students are required to conduct research under
the supervision of their advisors. |
STA 5010
Estimation Theory
This course is concerned with point estimation
in Euclidean sample spaces. Topics include measure
theory and integration, group families, exponential
families, sufficient statistics, convex loss functions,
UMVU estimators, performance of the estimators,
the information inequality, the principle of equivariance.
Bayes estimation, minimax estimation, convergence
in probability and in law, large-sample comparisons
of estimators and asymptotic efficiency. |
STA 5020
Topics in Multivariate Analysis
This is an advanced course on multivariate
analysis. Topics may include: Multivariate
central theorem, and its applications, factor
analysis, structural equation models, and latent
variable models. |
STA 5030
Linear Models
This course introduces important and fundamental
elements related to the area of linear
statistical models. A brief review of linear
algebra will be given to the students. The major
substance of this course covers: 1) distribution
theory: multivariate normal and related
distributions, distribution of quadratic forms;
2) full-rank linear models: least squares
estimation, maximum likelihood estimation,
simultaneous confidence intervals, tests of
linear hypotheses, generalized least squares; 3)
non-full-rank linear models: estimability,
parameter estimation, testable hypotheses,
estimability conditions; and 4) applications of
linear models: regression analysis, analysis of
variance, analysis of covariance. |

Thesis Research
In this course, a student is required to meet
with his/her supervisor regularly who provides
necessary guidance and supervision to write up a
thesis and monitors the student’s academic
progress. |
