Statistics - Case Western Reserve University

Statistics from Case Western Reserve University is a Campus Master Statistics degree that prepares you for a Education career. The core of mathematical statistics and of practical data analysis is common to all the degree programs in Statistics at Case Western Reserve University . For the student seeking an M.S. degree, the emphasis beyond these essentials is on acquiring understanding and good facility with a variety of statistical methodologies. Most M.S. graduates will find employment applying statistical methodology to a variety of problems in an industrial, governmental, or research setting. Competence in a statistical methodology implies mastering the derivations of particular techniques, making appropriate choices in their implementation , and being able to adapt these techniques and construct new ones to meet the specific objectives and constraints of new situations. The breadth of competence developed in graduate school will largely determine how well-equipped these graduates are to solve specific problems for which the principles are clear, but specific methods must be derived. The goals of this program are to give each student a balanced view of statistical theory and the application of statistics in practice or in substantive research and at the same time to have the student develop a broad competence in statistical methodology. The required core coursework reflects this balance. The first two requirements are for full-year sequences in data analysis and theory; and the third develops the theory underlying linear modeling. The requirement for applications of statistics can be satisfied either through intensive participation in the Consulting Forum or through an M.S. research project. Graduate students are also required to participate in a forum or seminar to gain experience in written and oral presentation. The remainder of each student's program is individualized to address the more specialized statistical demands of the selected field of concentration or the focus of multi disciplinary work. Each student may choose either the applied research project or the thesis option depending on individual interests. In either case the student can expect to work with a faculty mentor in undertaking a significant task which will culminate in polished written and oral presentations; in many cases the work will be suitable for presentation at professional society meetings or publishable in a substantive literature. A student coming to school from a position as professional statistician might choose a statistical problem arising in the workplace as the basis for an M.S. research project. A student intending to continue graduate work toward a Ph.D. might choose an M.S. research project to explore the intimate relationship of statistics to substantive fields. Alternatively, either student might choose the thesis option to tailor methodology to a new setting or to make a first essay at mathematical statistical research.
