Prerequisite: STAT 344 or equivalent, or permission of instructor.
Course Description: Application of basic
statistical techniques. Focus is on the problem (data analysis)
rather than on the theory. Topics include one and two
sample tests and confidence intervals for means and medians,
descriptive statistics, goodness-of-fit tests, one- and two-way
ANOVA, simultaneous inference, testing variances, regression
analysis, and categorical data analysis. Normal theory
is introduced first with discussion of what happens when
assumptions break down. Alternative robust and nonparametric
techniques are presented. Certificate program students
granted credit for only one of STAT 535 or 554. f,s
