Course Meeting Times

Purpose: To complete a basic two course sequence (in conjunction with STAT 515 or 509) in statistical techniques available to the general practitioner for analyzing experimental data. To introduce students in many different disciplines to multiple regression and analysis of variance for basic experimental designs. To provide students with the knowledge to implement and interpret these standard linear models.

Required Computing Resources: Some problems in this course involve significant computations, and for spring 2016, we will primarily learn to use the SAS software to do the needed computations.
You will need access to a computer with SAS Studio (available for free to students in this class). This can easily be accessed your home computer through the internet.
Alternatively, you could use the software package R (available as a free download from the CRAN home page). This can easily be downloaded onto your home computer.
Example code in both R and SAS will be provided on the course web page, but we will use SAS for the in-class examples.
Both R and SAS are available on the computers in the labs in LeConte College. Help in using R can be found on the CRAN home page.
