Description
As for MATH3811 but in greater depth.
Coverage of the main parametric and non-parametric and techniques used in statistics. Uniformly minimum variance estimation. Cramer-Rao inequality, Lehmann-Scheffe theorem. Monotone likelihood ratio distributions and uniformly most powerful unbiased tests. Generalised likelihood ratio tests, exact tests and large sample tests. Bayesian point estimation, interval estimation and hypothesis testing. Robustness and bootstrap resampling. Order statistics, goodness of fit, contingency tables. Statistical inference based on ranks. One sample, two sample and k-sample problems, blocked data, independence and association.
