Another one on getting Online Masters in Statistics

[StatsOntheSide]

Hello All. I am trying to figure out if there are any Universities which offer Online Masters in Statistics. I do not care much for the degree but I need to get the fundamentals of probability straight. I have already done an engineering course in Probability (like the stuff in Pappoulis) but I wish to get educated in Measure Theoretic Probability. I have a PhD in EE and I did the course during Masters. It requires Analysis as a prerequisite and one of the very good courses is offered at Stanford, not online though. Here is the link (http://www.stanford.edu/~montanar/TEACHING/Stat310A/stat310a.html) to it. I eventually wish to learn Stochastic Differential Equations/Stochastic Integrals/Ito Calculus which requires the above as a prerequisite (Arnold's book (http://books.google.com/books/about/Stochastic_differential_equations.html?id=Tw_vAAAAMAAJ)even says that a rigorous treatment of Measure Theoretic Probability is necessary to even get started with his book).

Please let me know if there are any good places to get those courses. I'd greatly appreciate any helpful input from you.

If your goal is to deal with stochastic differential equations and other numerical methods, you might want to consider an applied mathematics program focusing on numerical analysis, concentrating your research on stochastic methods. You might be better served with a PhD program and focus your masters on preparation into that. The only stats programs I can consider are in my thread: http://www.talkstats.com/showthread.php/23800-Online-Masters-Degrees
