3 credit hours
Prerequisites: Stat 401, or Stat 328 (basic concepts of statistical analysis through multiple linear regression).
Description: Advanced modern methods for analyzing experimental and observational data. Methods to be covered include graphical methods for high-dimensional data, maximum likelihood estimation, analysis of censored time-to-event data, nonlinear regression with random parameters, logistic regression, bootstrap and other simulation-based inference methods. The course will focus on data analysis, modeling, and interpretation, using examples from a variety of scientific and engineering disciplines.

This pages linked below provide some of the
instructional materials that have been developed for this course. Each
section of the course has (or will have):Files are given in pdf format. Although it seems that they can be viewed on-line without any problems using Adobe's (free) Acrobat Reader program, we have had some problems in printing pdfs with certain file/platform/printer combinations (especially with Adobe Reader 3.0 on Vincent in documents with math symbols). Experiment with a single page to protect against making mistakes.
