Capstone in Statistics I & II
STAT 5010W and 5020W
This is a year-long writing-intensive course in Statistics taken by all graduating senior Statistics majors at UGA. In the Fall, students see topics that they don't always see in their regular coursework. In the middle of the semester, clients come to class and present their questions and data; then groups of 2-3 students are assigned a client with whom they will work for the remainder of the academic year. At the end of Fall, the "final report" is a first incomplete draft (introduction and preliminary exploratory data analysis) of their final Capstone report. In the Spring, students work in earnest on these projects. There is a strict schedule of drafts and oral progress reports each month. Students are expected to maintain contact with their clients as they complete their analysis. At the end of the semester, they produce a written report for the client (the final Capstone report), a poster presented at a departmental poster session, and a final presentation.

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from the University of Georgia to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students in this program will apply techniques from the course to analyze the data. This includes trends and seasonality, as well as forecasting with ARIMA models. Stronger groups may be able to handle spectral, ARCH/GARCH, or state-space models.
