During the Fall 1998 semester, the Statistics EEB faculty led the seminar. Part of the course was devoted to design, measurement, and estimation for sample surveys. This course is taken by graduate students wishing to learn about statistical methods for analyzing research data. We concentrate on regression methods for engineering and physics, including model selection and diagnostics. Weekly labs are used to gain experience in analyzing data with statistical packages.
Students also complete a data analysis project related to their research area wherever possible.
