About the course:

Texts
Required: Applied linear regression models. Kutner, Nachsheim and Neter. McGraw and Hill.
Suggested: Rice, J.A. (1995) Mathematical Statistics and Data Analysis. Second Edition. Belmont, Duxbury.
Suggested: Modern applied statistics with R, Springer

Labs
Assigned in lecture, due 1-2 weeks after. Only typed lab reports will be accepted.

Project
The project proposal is due Thursday Nov 1 . Write a short (1-3 pages) description of the data/the source/the paper, and the analysis/discussion you anticipate completing.

Computing
The labs are an integral part of the course. They will require you to analyze data using a statistical software package, like SAS or R, and to write up your findings in short reports. In addition, a final project counts for 25 % of your course grade. You can use any programming languages you want, but the labs will be written for R and I will not assign alternative labs.

Exams
There will be a final, and a project presentation.

Grading
Your letter grade for the course will be based on the overall score you get from labs, the exam and the project.

Labs 20%
Final 40%
Project and Presentation 40%
