俺现在在UMass Amherst念物理Ph.D，想在拿到这个Ph.D之前再拿个统计系的Master。现在想申请这个Master administration的时候有些糊涂了，问了统计系和研究生院，都没有人知道具体该怎么做（可能是没找对人）。听说以前也有象我这样的兄弟姐妹（其他专业拿统计系的Master），请问这里有人知道一二么？

这个要问特特

心中涌起一股强烈的怨念希望你是个男生～～～帮我们统计系和谐一下。

呵呵，不过物理major申统计的话，研究的东西就应该是我有兴趣的了，什么时候切磋一下哈。

大约要修五六门统计系的课，再做个project之类的

问together就清楚了

谢谢大家的回复，看来together还常来这个坛子嘛，我看看能不能联系上。
PS：我是男的，男生就免了，年纪一大把了，哈哈。K4knight对物理感兴趣？

呵呵，男生好啊，坐在教室里那真是万花丛中一点绿，十二金钗射穿心，宝玉着咧～～～

我只是对simulation有一点兴趣，你background是物理的话只学什么math stat或是linear model就太亏了 [ 本帖最后由 k4knight 于 2008-1-16 03:19 PM 编辑 ]

right, I think so as well. hehe

OK, to answer Donkey's question --- it's the same procedure to apply for master in stats as when you apply for Umass. Fill application, get recommendation letters. GRE is not required in Stats dept here. You also don't have to submit transcript again cuz you're applying in the same school. But the application fee is nonwaivable, hehe. You probably wanna double check w/ your department or advisor and see if they're happy about this.

John Bournacorci(probably not spelled so correctly) is the graduate program advisor in Stats master program. If he likes you, you'll have no problem getting in, esp. if you tell him you don't need financial support (as far as I know they're restricting the financial support to master students and leave it for phd students). Given your strong science backgroud he'll probably like you very much, otherwise he usually wants someone who's already taken one or two classes in stats dept and got reasonably good grades (this is just my personal impression though) esp. for those who didn't have a degree in stats before.

To get the degree, you need to take 30 credits, including 6 core courses (505, 506, 607, 608, 705, 706), one final project class, and two 600-level classes either in stats dept. or w/ permission of John B, and pass the two qualify exams (probability and statistics which are pretty much based on two classes, 607 and 608).

Anyway contact John B and he'll tell you everything you want to know about this, you can also ask me if this is not clear --- sorry can't type in Chinese now... I'll msg you my cell #.

Say hello for me to Weng Jing! [ 本帖最后由 together 于 2008-1-16 05:13 PM 编辑 ]

多谢多谢 也代问你们家yuxi好。
已经讲得很详细了，到时候有什么问题再来问吧。
