This cross-listed course covers a number of topics used in the design and analysis of experiments. The course is intended for students of statistics as well as students of other disciplines (eg. engineering, experimental science, etc.) who will use experimental design and analysis in their work.

The course will cover the following topics: randomization, blocking Latin squares, balanced incomplete block designs, factorial experiments, confounding and fractional replication, components of variance, orthogonal polynomials, response surface methods. Additional topics will be covered based on students’ interest as time permits.

Prerequisite: STA302H/352Y/ECO327Y/ECO357Y or permission of instructor

S Please note, this course has been cancelled!
STA2202H/STA457H1

The course will cover the following topics:

  • Theory of stationary processes, linear processes
  • Elements of inference in time domain with applications
  • Spectral representation of stationary processes
  • Elements of inference in frequency domain with applications
  • Theory of prediction (forecasting) with applications > ARMA processes, inference and forecasting
  • Non-stationarity and seasonality, ARIMA and SARIMA processes

Further topics, time permitting: multivariate models; GARCH models; state-space models
