Remarks
Students are strongly recommended to have access to a PC in order to use the required software.There are two options of textbooks for this course. Students may use either:
The larger Applied Linear Statistical Models by Kutner, Nachtsheim, and Neter (5th edition) OR the smaller Analysis of Variance, a custom printing of the second half of the larger text, Analysis of Variance (ISBN 9781121669376).
Students may use either textbook listed.
The first half of the larger Applied Linear Statistical Models contains sections on regression models, the second half on analysis of variance and experimental design. The first 12 chapters on regression models are not covered in STAT 502, however these topics are covered in STAT 501 where these chapters are required. Students may consider purchasing the larger text if they are taking both courses. Applied Linear Statistical Models is considered to be one of the "bibles" of applied statistics so it probably will have value to you beyond this course.
