through contingency tables and linear regression. The emphasis is on thinking scientifically, understanding what is commonly<br />

done with data (and doing some of it for yourself), and laying a foundation for further study. You will learn to use statistical<br />

software, and to use simulation tools to discover fundamental results. Will use computers regularly; the test includes both<br />

multimedia materials and a software package. This course does not focus on data from any particular discipline, but will use realworld<br />

examples from a wide variety of disciplines and current events.<br />

Co-meets with <strong>ILR</strong>ST 5110. Prerequisite: <strong>ILR</strong>ST 2100 or equivalent introductory statistics course. A second course in statistics<br />

that emphasizes applications to the social sciences. Topics include simple linear regression; multiple linear regression (theory,<br />

model building, and model diagnostics); and the analysis of variance. Computer packages are used extensively.<br />

<strong>ILR</strong>ST 3110: Practical Matrix Algebra<br />

4.0 HRS LET ONLY<br />

Matrix algebra is a necessary tool for statistics courses such as regression and multivariate analysis and for other “research<br />

methods” courses in various other disciplines. One goal of this course is to provide students in various fields of knowledge with a<br />

basic understanding of matrix algebra in a *language they can easily understand. Topics include special types of matrices; matrix<br />

calculations; linear dependence and independence; vector geometry; matrix reduction (trace, determinant, norms); matrix<br />

inversion; linear transformation; eigenvalues; matrix decompositions; ellipsoids and distances; some applications of matrices.<br />

<strong>ILR</strong>ST 3120: Applied Regression Methods<br />

4.0 HRS LET ONLY<br />

14968 LEC 001 TR 0125-0240P IVS TBD P. Velleman<br />

Prerequisite: <strong>ILR</strong>ST 2100 or equivalent courses. Reviews matrix algebra necessary to analyze regression models. Covers<br />

multiple linear regression, analysis of variance, nonlinear regression, and linear logistic regression models. For those models,<br />

least squares and maximum likelihood estimation, hypothesis testing, model selection, and diagnostic procedures are considered.<br />

Illustrative examples are taken from the social sciences. Computer packages are used.<br />

<strong>ILR</strong>ST 4100 Techniques of Multivariate Analysis (also BTRY 4100,STSCI 4100) 4.0 HRS LET ONLY<br />

11536 LEC 001 MW 1010—1125A IVS TBD F. King<br />

Prerequisite: <strong>ILR</strong>ST 3120 or equivalent; some knowledge of matrix notation. Discusses techniques of multivariate statistical<br />

analysis and illustrates them using examples from various fields. Emphasizes application, but theory is not ignored. Deviation<br />

from assumptions and the rationale for choices among techniques are discussed. Students are expected to learn how to thoroughly<br />

analyze real-life data sets using computer-packaged programs. Topics include multivariate normal distribution, sample geometry<br />

and multivariate distances, inference about a mean vector, comparison of several multivariate means, variances, and covariances;<br />

detection of multivariate outliers; principal component analysis; factor analysis; canonical correlation analysis; discriminant<br />

analysis; and multivariate multiple regression.<br />

xxxxx LAB 401 TBD TBD IVS TBA<br />

Prerequisite: two statistics courses or permission of instructor. An advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate course.<br />

Includes treatment of association between qualitative variates; contingency tables; log-linear models; binary ordinal and<br />

multinomial regression models; and limit dependent variables.]<br />

12847 LAB 401 W 0255-0410P<br />

Prerequisite: BTRY 6010 and 6020 or permission of instructor. The role of statistics in experimentation. Completely<br />

randomized designs, randomized complete block designs, nested designs, incomplete block designs, general factorial designs,<br />

and split-plot designs. Stresses use of the computer for both design and analysis, with emphasis on solutions of real data<br />

problems.<br />
