Statistical Analysis is one of
the basic means of the modern scientific thinking, together with
stochastic modeling. Statistical techniques, because of the need of
getting accurate and coherent results from the acquired data, are
beneficial in many fields, such as: business administration,
economics, computer, medical sciences, actuary, and administration.
One of the factors behind the need of statistics science is both the
theoretical and the practical nature of it. Applied statistics is
frequently used by the researchers and administrators, in the
process of interpreting and controlling the related stochastic
phenomenon. Theoretical statistics presents new procedures by the
help of advanced mathematical and calculating methods.
The purpose of this program is to educate students in the fields of
statistics and theory of probabilities and applied statistics.
Students may carry on their studies by majoring on one of the fields
of applied statistics, such as: theoretical statistics or
statistical quality control, bioinformatics, biostatistics,
statistical reliability, econometrics. Making the students ready for
an academic career and giving them the ability of making researches
in different scientific branches are among the purposes of this
program. Students are also provided with information transfer in the
field of statistics, needed by the consultancy and industry
companies.
Background Needed
for the Program
The Master of Applied Statistics
is intended for quantitatively oriented students with bachelors'
degrees in agricultural, biological, business, computer,
engineering, mathematical, physical or social sciences or a related
field. This program is also suitable for professionals who handle
data in their current positions, and who are mostly interested in
the practical side of statistics.
