Synopsis of Course This course is designed as a capstone project to train students
Contents in conducting research in applied statistics. Students will write
a report for the project (15, 000 to 30, 000 words) that is carried
out. Besides conducting an empirical research that involves
application of statistics, they can also run simulations,
experiments, or propose methodological innovations in
applied statistics. Supervision by at least one lecturer will
begin from the initial stage of research project development to
report preparation. The other research stages that are
supervised include identifying research questions, designing
research framework, reviewing the literature (analysis,
synthesis and critical review of theoretical and empirical
literature from recent research), collecting information/data,
conduct analysis using appropriate statistical methods,
ensuring ethical practices, relating findings to answer the
research questions, and making appropriate conclusions.
