STAT 455: Environmental Statistics

Course Description

The primary objective of the course is to teach students majoring in the environmental and biological sciences how to make data-driven decisions with statistics. This course aims to nurture the importance of statistical methods to enhance the understanding of issues related to environmental sciences. A one-semester course cannot be exhaustive in depth and width of literature but the aim of this course is to create interest and encourage students to delve more into the subject. This course does not count for the Statistics minor nor the Statistics major. Students who have already taken Calculus I should not take this course, instead they should takeSTAT 301orSTAT 325, both of which use R and count for the Statistics minor and major. Students cannot receive credit for bothSTAT 455andSTAT 555. (AY).
