(4)
Mathematical, statistical, and computational skills needed to fit statistical models to data in environmental science and evaluate them. Each student will be expected to motivate, construct, analyze, and report on a statistical/mathematical model of their own using data they acquire and to explore and communicate techniques used in their field of study. Topics will include a review of deterministic functions and approaches to modeling, statistical approaches and probability distributions, likelihood methods, some Bayesian approaches, and some matrix algebra. Examples will be drawn mostly from fisheries and ecology. Prerequisite:  ; two semesters of statistics or permission of the instructor. Offered Fall.
