This past May, I completed the Simulation and Parallel and Distributed Systems class that I was attending. While taking two classes while working full time was challenging; the pure fun of it all more than made up for the challenge! I will have fond memories of that semester for a long time. I can’t wait [...]
Ever wondered why Markov Chains in Monte Carlo methods converge after enough iterations? I did. Tanvir shared this link with me to find out why.
In Spring of 2010 I am taking two classes: MSCS 6020: Simulation (syllabus) and MSCS 6060: Parallel & Distributed Systems (syllabus).
In Fall of 2009 I took one class: MSCS 6010: Probability which used Statistical Inference, Second edition by Casella & Berger. Addendum: 01/23/10 Here is the syllabus for the course.
This past December, on the fifteenth, I completed the Probability class that I was attending. We covered Probability from the theoretical (Calculus) and analytical (MATLAB) side of things. In my first foray into theory behind Statistics, I found the relationships between the distributions to be really neat to see, and along with the Calculus, a [...]

In the first half of the semester in the Probability course I am taking we learned (among other things) how to, given the probability distribution function for any distribution, derive, if possible, the: Commulative Distribution Function Population Mean Population Variance Population Standard Deviation Population Median Population Mode Moment Generating Function Everyone seems to be excited [...]
The Powerball people seem like a cool bunch of people. Check this out. (via reddit)
Here is an article that explains how one of the four co-founders of SAS, a statistician, has an awesome job where the serious product (SAS) pays for him to develop the fun product (JMP). Note: That is an understatement, as it probably would pay for him to stare at the ocean for the rest of [...]
