Statistics Projects at Palmerston North

Take this link for Statistics Projects at Albany

We encourage our GradDipApplStat and MApplStat students to choose topics in applied statistics, preferably solving real problems or providing improvements. These projects are suitable to be done for the papers 161.380 or 161.381 or 161.382 or 161.780 or 161.781 or 161.782 as part of the GradDipApplStat or MApplStat. The list is indicative only and many other projects are possible.

Look at these notes for students.

For more information and to discuss possible projects contact Steve Haslett.
