Course Description: Advanced models, including: generalized linear models, nonlinear models, random- and mixed-effects models, repeated measures models, nonparametric regression, spatial models, and data mining.
Prerequisites: STAT 513 or STAT 516 or equivalent.
Current Textbook: Extending the Linear Model with R, by Julian J. Faraway, 2005.
Available Computing Resources:
R is available as a free download (from the CRAN home page).
R is also available on the computers in the labs in LeConte College (and a few other buildings).
Help in using R can be found on the CRAN home page.
Computer Code for Class Examples
Required Computing Resources:
Some problems in this course involve significant computations, and we will
primarily learn to use the software package R to do the needed computations.
You will need access to a computer with R (available as a free download from the CRAN home page). This can easily be downloaded onto your home computer.
R is also available on the computers in the labs in LeConte College.
Help in using R can be found on the
CRAN home page.
