Review Material

Before entering the Fall 2016 section of STAT 704, you should have a knowledge of certain basic statistical methods, such as: descriptive statistics, basic graphs and plots, elementary probability, discrete and continuous random variables, sampling distributions, point and interval estimation, and hypothesis testing. If you have had a course in elementary statistics (not "mathematical statistics"), you have probably covered this material. If you need a review of it, you may wish to familiarize yourself with any of the following material:

The first six chapters of the course notes on the following web page:
J. Tebbs STAT 700 notes, Fall 2005

ALSO PLEASE NOTE:
STAT 704 has a corequisite of STAT 712. If you register for STAT 704 for Fall 2016, please be sure that you are taking STAT 712 in Fall 2016 (or that you have previously taken STAT 712).
If you wish to take an applied statistics sequence without taking STAT 712, please consider STAT 700-701 (or STAT J700-J701), which is designed for graduate students from departments other than statistics.

Textbook:
Required Textbook: "Applied Linear Statistical Models" (5th edition) by Kutner, Nachtsheim, Neter, and Li.
(This book is out of print, but is available online, including in the "international version" which is OK. It is rather expensive new, but it is a very nice book and it will also be the book used for STAT 705 in the spring.)

Supplementary Books (NOT required):
"Linear Models with R" by Faraway, J.J.
"Extending the Linear Model with R" by Faraway, J.J.
"An R and S-plus Companion to Applied Regression" by Fox, J.
"Statistical Analysis and Data Display" by Heiberger and Holland.
"Statistical Research Methods in the Life Sciences" by Rao, P.V.

Available Computing Resources: R is available as a free download from the CRAN home page) and students who want SAS can buy a copy from USC Computer Services.
These packages are 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.
