Bachelor of Statistics in Theoretical Statistics in Canberra Australia | The Australian National University

The theoretical statistics program offers a rigorous foundation in the mathematical principles behind contemporary statistical techniques for estimation, inference, and forecasting. This curriculum examines both traditional estimation and hypothesis testing methods, including maximum likelihood and frequentist approaches, alongside Bayesian methodologies that are now fundamental to modern data science. Students gain theoretical knowledge to comprehend statistical modeling from multiple perspectives: parametric and non-parametric frameworks, asymptotic theory, finite-sample properties, model robustness, and the incorporation of prior knowledge.
