Insider's Wisdom

18.465 "Topics in statistics" is in principle graduate level but can be as the title implies about almost any topic in statistics beyond the elementary. The only prerequisite is 18.443, so undergraduates can take it and in fact it has happened that the majority of students are undergraduates.

The topics vary, in 2005 the topic was nonparametrics and robustness and another year it was applications of concentration inequalities in statistics.
