Requirements
- Proficiency in R is required. Students considering graduate study in Statistics, Biostatistics, or a related quantitative field are especially encouraged to apply. Students who have taken or are currently enrolled in STA-370 may find their coursework particularly helpful, but STA-370 is not required.
- Students who make substantial contributions to the research and manuscript may have the opportunity to be included as co-authors on the paper. Because the peer-review process for statistics journals can be lengthy, publication may occur after the student’s formal involvement in the project has ended.
- Attach the following:
- A single PDF file that includes:
- 1. A resume or CV
- 2. Two paragraphs that include your reason for wishing to participate in the project and your post-undergraduate plan.
- 3. A list of all Math, Statistics and Computer Science courses you have taken.
