Prerequisites:
Course Catalog Description:
Study of the computational algorithms used in solving statistical problems.Students
will write their own SAS programs as well as macros to implement mathematical
and statistical packages. Problems covered include approximating probabilities
and quantiles for selected distributions.The data manipultion using SAS
will be emphasized. Monte Carlo studies, least squares computational procedures
for linear and nonlinear models such as QR decompostions and iteratively
reweighted least squares and robust estimating procedures. Additional topics
may include generalized
