Doctoral Seminar I

3 credits · Graduate credit

This is the first course in a two-term introduction to the integration of social science and statistical science approaches to the design, collection, and analysis of surveys. The seminar will focus on six to eight areas of statistical and methodological literature that have benefited from alternative approaches. Students demonstrate mastery of those literatures through critical review papers, ideas, for extensions of the literature, and empirical projects related to research reviewed.
