Credit points: 15

Subject outline

Building on the understanding of applied statistical methods developed in first year statistics subjects, STA2AMS provides an understanding of these methods at an intermediate level. In terms of content, STA2AMS is similar to STA2ABS, but the subject places a special emphasis on medical applications. There are specific questions in the assignments, project, test and examination that reflect such an emphasis. This subject does not require a knowledge of calculus. An introduction to the open source statistical computing package R is included.
