Only the versions of these programs for PC-DOS are available for public use, but if you have access to versions for other platforms you are free to use them. The data needed for these assignments will be provided to you, either on disks or via FTP if you are not doing the analysis on University computers. Basic familiarity with the use of computers is assumed. Ability to work with SAS is also assumed, but some instruction can be provided by the teaching assistant, if needed. Students are encouraged to work in groups on the homework assignments.
Assignments are due at the beginning of the class session.
They will each be graded on a 100 point basis, and grades of 0 will be given for any missed assignments. Assignments will be graded and returned a week after their due dates, and the solutions discussed in class on that date. Reading Assignments Readings are assigned for many of the class days. There is no single textbook that covers the range of procedures that we will discuss in this class. Copies of many of the assigned items will be provided to students in the form of a course pack.
