Description

Data collection and sampling methods. Designs for surveys of populations.

STAT312 and STAT455 are courses in survey methods, concentrating mainly on sample designs. The course is designed to give students an understanding of how to select samples from various types of populations of varying characteristics and produce population estimates along with measures of uncertainties in those estimates. Also you will gain some insights in the practical applications of the design of survey collections.

Learning Outcomes

  • The Courses will:
  •  introduce data collection and sampling techniques
  •  introduce simple random sampling, stratified sampling and cluster sampling designs along with their strengths and weaknesses

  • describe and conduct appropriate statistical sampling techniques
  • be able to interpret the model results in such a way that a non-user of statistics can understand
  • use R competently
  • write a scientific and technical report
