Prerequisite: ST511 or consent of instructor.
Objectives:
This course is a continuation of ST511. Topics this term will be Multiple Regression and Design of Experiments. Emphasis throughout will be on the principles of design and inference, rather than the mechanics of the computations. Data analysis will be performed using the computer package SAS, except when hand calculation appears instructive. The class presentation will follow approximately the order of the chapters in the text. The material in the text will be supplemented by additional topics and computer package instruction.
Course Materials:
Required Text: Ott, R. Lyman and
Longnecker, Michael, An Introduction to
Statistical methods and Data Analysis, Fifith Edition, PWS-Kent Publishing
Company, 2001.
Required Course Notes: Course notes will be posted on WebCT in Adobe
"pdf" format. Students are required to print out a copy of the notes prior to
class and bring them to class.
Computing:
1.
SAS
is available on PC’s (Windows) in the Statistics side (Room 206 Weber) of the
new College of Natural Science computer classroom. Students will receive a class account and password (one account
for the entire class) to use these computers.
However, students are encouraged to use SAS on their department or home
computers. Copies of SAS can be leased
through the Software Cellar in 22 Weber for about $35 until August 31, 2003.
2.
Course
resources will be administered by a program called WebCT, which can be accessed
through any computer connected to the World Wide Web and running Netscape or
Internet Explorer. Bookmark the
following address:
http://www.webct.colostate.edu
Click on the “Log onto my WebCT” button at that address. A small window will come up in which you
type your personal id name and password.
This will bring up a personal WebCT home screen from which you can
access all your classes that use WebCT.
3.
Adobe
Acrobat Reader will be required to download and print course notes and examples
(Acrobat Reader can be obtained free from http://www.adobe.com.).
Homework:
Homework will be assigned weekly (except during test weeks) and due in class on Thursday of the following week or in the instructor’s mailbox in 200 Statistics until 4:00 p.m. Friday. Homework should be organized so that the grader can find your answers without searching through pages of computer output. Cut and paste computer output into your assignment, when appropriate. You are encouraged to work together on homework, but the work turned in should be your own.
