Develops theoretical knowledge and computation skills required for an in-depth understanding of modern applied statistical methods.
An ideal paper for someone who wants to 'get under the hood' and really understand the tools they have used previously, and how this extends to more complex methods and models.

Students successfully completing this course will be able to demonstrate the following:
- Understanding of probability, distributions, and how this informs data analysis
- Knowledge of different paradigms for statistical inference
- Understanding of the relationship between theory and some of the most commonly used statistical modelling techniques, especially regression
- Ability to develop methods for problems without standard solutions using maximum likelihood
