Statistics Honours Course: Comprehensive Details
Statistics Honours is a rigorous undergraduate program designed to equip students with the theoretical foundations and practical skills essential for analyzing complex data and making informed decisions. This course nurtures analytical minds to excel in research, industry, and statistical policy formulation.

Spanning six semesters, it covers a broad range of statistical methods, mathematical principles, and applied techniques with emphasis on real-world applications.

Semester-wise Syllabus Breakdown:
Semester 1:

Descriptive Statistics:
Introduction to statistics: scope, data types (qualitative & quantitative), scales of measurement, graphical data representation including frequency distributions, stem-leaf diagrams, and histograms.

Measures of Central Tendency and Dispersion:
Calculation and interpretation of mean, median, mode, variance, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, Gini Coefficient, Lorenz Curve, box plots, and outlier identification.

Semester 2:

Probability Theory I:
Basic principles of probability, combinatorial analysis, conditional probability, Bayes theorem, and probability distributions (Binomial, Poisson, Normal).

Algebra and Mathematical Methods:
Matrix algebra, linear equations, and preparation for statistical computations.

Semester 3:

Sampling Theory & Techniques:
Simple random sampling, stratified, cluster sampling, systematic sampling; sampling distribution of mean, proportion, and variance.

Inferential Statistics:
Fundamentals of estimation and hypothesis testing including parametric and non-parametric tests, confidence intervals, and significance tests.

Statistical Computing:
Introduction to statistical software tools and programming languages like R and basic C/C++ for data analysis.

Semester 4:

Advanced Probability and Distributions:
Continuous distributions including Exponential, Gamma, Beta; distribution functions; moment generating functions.

Regression and Correlation:
Simple and multiple linear regression, method of least squares, correlation coefficients, diagnostics, and model assumptions.

Survey Sampling and Official Statistics:
Design and analysis of surveys; Indian official statistics and use in policy decision making.

Semester 5:

Stochastic Processes and Queuing Theory:
Markov chains, birth-death processes, Poisson processes; application of queuing models in operations research.

Multivariate Analysis:
Study of multiple variables simultaneously via principal component analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis, and discrimination analysis.

Specialized Electives:
