First Course: This summer the Statistics Department is offering what will become the first core class for the RME Master's program. This class will be offered as Stats 583--Special Topics in Applied Statistics, Introduction to Mathematical Statistics.
In the future it will be offered as Stats 560--Introduction to Mathematical Statistics (3) Probability, probability distributions, simulation of random variables, sampling distributions, central limit theorem, testing of hypotheses, confidence intervals, maximum likelihood methods, Bayesian methods.
It is offered both on campus and through distance. For details, visit http://anywhere.tennessee.edu/de/courselist/CourseDetails.asp?CourseID=1636
This class was developed to provide the statistical foundation for reliability engineering courses. It has no course prerequisite, an engineering foundation will suffice.
