  • STAT 663: Statistical Graphics and Data Exploration

    3.00 Credits
    George Mason University

    Credits: 3 Cross-Listed with CSI 773 Exploratory data analysis provides a reliable alternative to classical statistical techniques that are designed to be the best possible when stringent assumptions apply. Topics include graphical techniques such as scatter plots, box plots, parallel coordinate plots and other graphical devices, re-expression and transformation of data, influence and leverage, and dimensionality reduction methods such as projection pursuit. Prerequisites A 300-level course in statistics (STAT 554 is strongly recommended). Hours of Lecture or Seminar per week 3 Hours of Lab or Studio per week 0 When Offered F

  • STAT 664: Bayesian Inference and Decision Theory

    3.00 Credits
    George Mason University

    Credits: 3 Cross-Listed with SYST 664 Introduces decision theory and relationship to Bayesian statistical inference. Teaches commonalities, differences between Bayesian and frequentist approaches to statistical inference, how to approach a statistics problem from the Bayesian perspective and how to combine data with informed expert judgment in a sound way to derive useful and policy-relevant conclusions. Teaches necessary theory to develop firm understanding of when and how to apply Bayesian and frequentist methods, and practical procedures for inference, hypothesis testing, and developing statistical models for phenomena. Teaches fundamentals of Bayesian theory of inference, including probability as a representation for degrees of belief, likelihood principle, use of Bayes Rule to revise beliefs based on evidence, conjugate prior distributions for common statistical models, and methods for approximating the posterior distribution. Introduces graphical models for constructing complex probability and decision models from modular components. Prerequisites STAT 544 or 554, or equivalent.

  • STAT 668: Survival Analysis

    3.00 Credits
    George Mason University

    Credits: 3 Survival Analysis is a class of statistical methods for studying the occurrence and timing of events. In medical research, the events may be deaths, and the objective is to determine factors affecting survival times of patients following treatment, usually in the setting of clinical trials. Methods can also be applied to the social and natural sciences and engineering where they are known by other names (reliability, event history analysis). Concepts of censored data, time-dependent variables, and survivor and hazard functions are central. Nonparametric methods for comparing two or more groups of survival data are studied. The Cox regression model (proportional hazards model), Weibull model, and the accelerated failure time model are studied in detail. Concepts are applied to analysis of real data from major medical studies using SAS software. Prerequisites STAT 544, STAT 535 or 554, and working knowledge of SAS. Hours of Lecture or Seminar per week 3 Hours of Lab or Studio per week 0 When Offered AF

  • STAT 673: Statistical Methods for Longitudinal Data Analysis

    3.00 Credits
    George Mason University

    Credits: 3 Presents modern statistical approaches to the analysis of longitudinal data, i.e., data collected repeatedly on experimental units over time (or other conditions). Topics include linear mixed effects models, generalized linear models for correlated data (including generalized estimating equations), and computational issues and methods for fitting models. Prerequisites STAT 544, STAT 656, and working knowledge of a statistical software package. Hours of Lecture or Seminar per week 3 Hours of Lab or Studio per week 0 When Offered AS
