In addition to part I (General Handout for all courses appended to the Time table) this portion gives further
specific details regarding the course.
Course No : MATH F353
Course Title Statistical Inference and Ap
Instructor-in-Charge : Rakhee
1. Course Description: Review of elements ot probability and statistical methods, Classical Decision theory including
parametric and non-parametric methods for testing of hypotheses, Analysis of Variance: One way and two way
Classifications, Design of experiments: Analysis of Completely randomized design, Randomized biock design and Latin
square design with one or more missing values, Statistical Quality control for variables and measurements.
2. Scope and Objective of the Course:
‘The course deals with some of the stati
al technique
and nonparametric methods will be discussed. Comparison of two treatments will be discussed. Comparison of
s of decision-making. Test of hypotheses, both parametric
several treatments using analysis of variance will be dealt with. Control charts for measurements and attributes
will also be discussed.
