Undergraduate thesis together with advanced lectures on topics chosen from the following fields: mathematical basis, experimental design, response surfaces, stochastic processes, theories of inference, sequential analysis, nonparametric methods, multivariate analysis, mathematical programming, information theory, discrete distributions. May also include advanced lectures given by other Departments or Schools.

Note:
To enter Statistics Level IV, students must have completed a Statistics major in the Science program, including at least 30 units of credit in Level III Statistics and/or Mathematics, or have completed Stage 3 of the Statistics plan in the Advanced Science or Advanced Mathematics program.

In addition, students must have permission from the Head of the Statistics Department. Students will normally be required to have a credit average in their Level III Statistics and Mathematics courses and to have shown some evidence of the ability to undertake independent study. In special cases other courses may be substituted for the Statistics and Mathematics courses.

Intending Honours students should discuss their selection of Level III courses with the Head of the Statistics Department before starting stage 3. Students must complete 48 units of credit of Honours Statistics and/or Mathematics in order to be awarded an Honours degree.
