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.IMPORTANT - The prerequisites for STAT312 are 15 points from STAT200-299 and a further 15 points from STAT200-299 or DATA200-299. The prerequisites are not 15 points from DATA200-299 and a further 15 points from STAT200-299 or DATA200-299, and this error will be corrected as soon as possible. We apologise for any confusion.
