Designed for students who wish to pursue further reading in a particular topic of current interest in Statistics under the guidance of a faculty member. Each student is required to present analytical evaluation of his/her reading to his/her faculty supervisor. Studies topics in statistics that are not part of the regular offerings. Topics will be selected by statistics faculty members as appropriate. A variety of skills learned throughout the curriculum are combined by expecting students to work through a variety of cases studies. Students are expected to collect data and analyze the data individually. Oral and written research reports suitable in format and content are required.
