The department finally published the content for the stats portion of the qualifying exam. Last year was the first year UMSL offered a concentration in Statistics, so this will be the first Q to cover it.
There are no big surprises: Basic Probability. Expected values and higher moments. Common distributions. Multivariate distributions. Random samples and the standard sample distributions (t, F). Sufficiency. Estimation. Hypothesis Testing.
Pretty much stuff that should be second nature to anyone pursuing a PhD in Stats.
