Computing Although the emphasis will be on theoretical problems, some homework problems will require the use of computer programs. Some will involve using existing routines to fit particular models, and others will require simple programming, e.g. to implement a simple Newton-Raphson algorithm or to perform a simulation. S-plus is recommended for the programming tasks, while SAS has the most extensive procedures for the models considered on the course. The University policy on academic integrity, covering cheating, plagiarizing, and other acts of academic dishonesty, given in Section 49-20 of the Student Guide on Policies and Rules of the University, will be adhered to in this course.
