As a PhD student at UCLA, I highly recommend our department if you like theory. Biostat Dept. at UCLA is one of the best places to connect theoretical stats with real life applications. At first year, Dr. Telesca will use Van dear Vaart’s Asymptotic stats and Lehman’s TPE to teach biostat202B (theoretical stats). If you want a solid background in probability, then biostat255AB series will provide all the measure theory you need and much more (including Tulcea’s theorem for stochastic processes and Caratheodory theorems with extensions). If you like applied statistics, then our department has a lot of faculty working on genetic data analysis, statistical computing (Dr. Zhou), survival analysis(Dr. Li), functional data analysis (Dr. Senturk) and much more. The atmosphere is great, everybody is nice and there is a strong connection between students at biostat department. looking forward to see you!
