STAT 414 - Environmental Statistics

(3.00)

The purpose of this course is to study statistical methods used in environmental applications. This course includes a brief review of the basic methods of inference for percentiles, means and differences in mean with special emphasis on non-parametric methods, which are used widely in environmental applications. The course will cover the following topics: analysis of variance, estimation of components of variance and regression methodology using environmental data. Methods of analyzing data with observations that are below detection limits. Parametric and non-parametric methods of estimating trends in seasonal and auto-correlated data. Sampling methods that are particularly useful in environmental applications will be discussed.
