Remarks

This course will be offered through the Canvas Learning Management System. Please log into Canvas to participate in this course.

Students are strongly recommended to have access to a PC in order to use the required software.

The textbook is required, and either of the two editions listed below are acceptable:

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. This first half of the 5th edition text is available published as Applied Linear Regression Models by Kutner, Nachtsheim, and Neter (4th edition).

Students may use either textbook as they are identical.

The larger Applied Linear Statistical Models  also includes 16 chapters on analysis of variance and experimental design not covered in this course, however these topics are covered in STAT 502 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.

Additional Prerequisite Information: A working knowledge of Matrix Algebra is a prerequisite (see review).
