Abstract:
|
This work is the joint effort of the Committee for Graduate Education in Vietnam, established under the umbrella of the SIG in Volunteerism of the ASA. The committee includes 14 members from academia and industry and was charged with developing approaches to create graduate degree programs in statistics at universities in Vietnam. The committee held several electronic discussions and prepared a report proposing a plan for a MS degree in statistics. The components of the MS degree in statistics, the resources that must be in place to establish the new degree program and possible strategies for building the necessary capacity are discussed in the report. The committee is currently constructing a web-based resource with course notes, datasets and software. Findings and web-based resources can be adapted for implementation in other developing nations.
