This is an intensive 40-hour course that covers the material given in Applying Statistics, NUREG 1475, which is the primary text for the course. A bound copy of the book will be provided to students and an electronic version of the NUREG is available for download at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff/sr1475/ . Additional topics that will be covered in the course include measurement uncertainty, analysis of censored data, characteristic limits, and sampling. The list of lecture topics is shown below. The open source statistical software R (http://cran.r-project.org/) will be used to perform calculations. This is an applied course tailored to health physicists that will be taught at a level that assumes students are familiar with (but not necessarily proficient with) mathematics through calculus. Instructors for the course are Thomas LaBone, a health physicist, and Dr. Nancy Chalmers, a statistician.
