Statistical Methods and Applications

The final assessment involves the preparation and presentation of a written thesis, originally developed by the student under the guide of a supervisor. The thesis consists of a written paper through which the student demonstrates a sufficient level of proficiency in the use of concepts and tools acquired during the course of study. The graduation student must also demonstrate a good ability to engage with the relevant literature. The thesis project focuses on methodological and practical aspects related to the courses of the degree programme. The thesis may also consist of a report on a project or work placement carried out at companies or research institutes.

To submit your degree application, please read carefully the Graduating Student Checklist of the Faculty of Information Engineering, Computer Science and Statistics (go to the page https://www.uniroma1.it/en/pagina/graduating-student-checklist), where you will find all the necessary information, including:
- the requirements;
- how to apply;
- the graduation sessions and deadlines.
PLEASE NOTE: the graduation application must be submitted within the period specified in the guide, and it is possible to do so even before you have completed your exams. However, by the application deadline, all exams required by the study programme must have been passed and recorded in your academic transcript.

CALCULATION OF THE FINAL SCORE
The Committee for the final exam expresses its vote on a scale of one hundred and ten (110), with the following voting assignment criteria:

a) Enrolled in the study program starting from the academic year 2023-24:
●The grade point average (GPA) is calculated with weights proportional to the number of credits of the individual exams taken (weighted average)
●All exams taken during the study program or validated through transfers from other Master's degree programs are considered in the calculation of the GPA
●The Committee applies an additional 1-point increment for students who have completed their studies within the standard time.
●An additional 1-point increment is given for students who have achieved at least 3 honors during their studies or who have studied abroad for at least 3 months
●The final thesis is evaluated with a score increment ranging from 0 to 7, divided into the following merit categories: 1-2 (sufficient), 3-4 (good), 5-6 (excellent), 7 (outstanding)
●The Committee may award "laude" for a candidate with an initial score of at least 104/110, who achieves a score of 110/110 by discussing a thesis considered at least excellent

b) Enrolled in the study program up to the academic year 2022-23:
●The GPA is calculated with weights proportional to the number of credits of the individual exams taken (weighted average).
●All exams taken during the study program or validated through transfers from other Master's degree programs are considered in the calculation of the GPA
●Any honors received in exam results do not contribute to determining the GPA
●The final thesis is evaluated with a score increment ranging from 0 to 11, divided into the following merit categories: 0-2 (sufficient), 3-6 (good), 7-9 (excellent), 10-11 (exceptional)
