Bachelor of Statistics

The undergraduate program in Statistics at UAE introduces the fundamentals of probability and statistical inference (estimation and hypothesis testing) which cover design of experiments, sampling techniques, and regression and time series analysis. Two distinctive features of the program are the emphasis of business applications (e.g., forecasting financial and economic indicators, marketing surveys, audit sampling, decision making, quality control, etc.), and the reinforcement of lecture materials by closely integrated computer packages using real (local, where available) databases.
