文学硕士-统计

文学硕士（MA）学位有两种途径，分别是课程工作或论文。MA可以为教育，地区和国家政府机构，私营部门以及工业界的就业做好准备。该学位也是哲学博士（PhD）的入学资格。统计学作为一个研究领域，涉及数字数据的收集，分析和解释。主要重点在于随机变化在所做观察中的作用，这就是为什么统计理论建立在概率概念上的原因。尽管对统计的任何深度研究都需要一定程度的代数和微积分，但它不仅仅是数学的另一个分支。统计方法的使用要求问题表达，计算和证据评估方面的技能并非总是与数学能力紧密相关。此外，成为成功的统计学家的关键因素是能够通
Statisticians can be thought of as explorers finding information in data. They collect, analyse and interpret data to help researchers and decision-makers. The collaborative nature of statistics is one of its most rewarding features.Statisticians also design and carry out research. They rely on computational skills, quantitative abilities, analytical reasoning and communications skills. At Otago, the Statistics Group is working in ecology, bioinformatics, biostatistics, quantitative genetics and on problems such as disease spread and seismic and volcanic hazards.<br>Anywhere data are collected, analysed or interpreted, you find people with statistical training. Because the world is becoming more and more data-focused, the demand for graduates has outstripped supply.Statisticians use computational skills, statistical knowledge, quantitative abilities and communications skills to help make decisions in the face of uncertainty.Examples include evaluating the environmental effects of air, water, and soil pollutants, and designing and analysing studies to determine whether new drugs and medical procedures are safe and effective.By working in statistics, you can combine your interest with almost any other field in science, technology, or business.
