统计学哲学博士

该系提供通往理学硕士和哲学博士学位的课程。合格的申请者可以获得具有教学职责和研究职责的研究生助学金。MS程序的双重核心是数学统计和现代数据分析，并可以选择特殊的创业轨迹。从这个核心扩展，学生可以使用各种统计方法开发技术设施。这种能力的培养旨在使毕业生超越适当的实施方法选择，并能够适应这些技术并构建新的方法，以满足新形势的特定目标和限制。博士课程专注于研究，研究计划致力于开发具有创新性应用的统计方法或理论。毕业生将能够扩展统计学的理论基础，并将统计学思想带入其他领域的科学研究中。培养学生跨学科合作的目标也需
The department offers programs leading to the Master of Science and to the Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Graduate assistantships, both with teaching responsibilities and with research duties, are available to qualified applicants. The dual core of the MS program is mathematical statistics and modern data analysis, with the option of a special Entrepreneurial Track. Expanding from this core, students develop technical facility in a variety of statistical methodologies. This breadth of competence is designed to equip graduates to go beyond the appropriate choice of method for implementation and to be able to adapt these techniques and to construct new methods to meet the specific objectives and constraints of new situations.The doctoral program focuses on research, with a plan of study devoted to the development of statistical methodology or theory with innovative applications. Graduates will be able both to extend the theoretical basis for statistics and to bring statistical thought to scientific research in other fields. The objective of preparing students to collaborate in interdisciplinary work demands breadth as well, so advanced knowledge of a substantive field and participation in the collaborative experience are also integral to the program. Students planning to enter the doctoral program in statistics should obtain information from the departmental office. Plans of study are prepared individually by the graduate student and a faculty advisor to develop the talents and interests of each student.
