Course Outline

The focus of the course is on linear models for regression analysis and analysis of variance. The emphasis of the course is on the practical use of these techniques for data analysis. See the Course Outline for a general overview, list of topics to be covered, grading policies, etc.

Assignments

The items below give readings and problems for course assignments. The assignments are sequential, but the due dates are revised as we go along. Check the 'Last Revised' dates, but you can use these to plan ahead generally. Assignments will be updated for the 5th Edition.

- Project 1 tutorial notes
- Project 1 tips
Project 2 ANOVA project
