Prerequisite: Statistics G6105
(real analysis and probability theory), or the equivalent. A general introduction to mathematical statistics and statistical decision theory. Elementary decision theory, Bayes inference, Neyman-Pearson theory, hypothesis testing, uniformity, most powerful unbiased tests, confidence sets. Estimation: methods, theory, and asymptotic properties. Likelihood ratio tests, multivariate distribution. Elements of general linear hypothesis, invariance, nonparametric methods, sequential analysis.
An internship arranged through the Museum Anthropology program of 10 hrs/week (for 3 credits) or 20 hrs/week (for 6). Involves "meaningful" work, requires keeping a journal and writing a paper at the completion of the semester. Not to be taken without permission of the program directors, usually after completing the Museum Anthropology core courses.

Prerequisites: the instructor's permission.
Individual research and tutorial in archaeological method and theory for advanced graduate students.
Weekly seminar of presentations and discussion of current topics in cognition.
This course is restricted to PhD in Sustainable Development
Departmental colloquium in statistics.
Analysis of public management literature on innovation covering such topics as engineering, team based management, privatization, public private partnership, contracting, benchmarking, quality management, and strategic planning. Emphasis is on advantages and disadvantages of these techniques in a point counterpoint format.
In the summer and autumn semesters, the Workshop emphasizes management issues. Students enroll in small, faculty-advised project teams and design a detailed operational plan for addressing an important public policy problem. Each Workshop faculty member selects a piece of proposed but not yet enacted state, federal, or local environmental law (or a U.N. resolution) and students are asked to develop a plan for implementing and managing the new program. In the summer semester, the Workshop groups write reports explaining the environmental science aspects of a management problem to political decision-makers who are not scientists. During the autumn semester the Workshop completes the operational plan for implementing the program. Both the summer and autumn Workshop projects will be on issues central to the two earth systems problem themes that the cohort will focus on throughout their course of study.

The goal of this course is to introduce you to the basic concepts of natural resource and environmental economics in about 14 weeks. It should hence be seen as a survey class that introduces the basic ideas of the field. Prerequisites: Graduate level classes in micro-economics and econometrics as well as some knowledge of optimal control theory. Furthermore, you should know the basic commands in STATA and either MATLAB or R (for some of the problem sets, but they are easy to learn).

Research work culminating in a creditable dissertation on a problem of a fundamental nature selected in conference between student and adviser. Wide latitude is permitted in choice of a subject, but independent work of distinctly graduate character is required in its handling.
