| Lecture: | This course consists of three parts: regression, design of experiments, and |
| computer simulation. Tentative schedule is as follows: In part I, we cover the simple and multiple linear regression and logistic regression in the first four weeks. In part II, we review one-way ANOVA and continue to two-way ANOVA, randomized block design, Latin square design and full factorial design. In part III, we cover more computationally intensive topics. For weekly schedule and exam dates, refer to http://www.math.ilstu.edu/dhkim/M356/sch356.html. Lecture notes will be available on the course website. | |
| Homeworks: | Homeworks are assigned at regular intervals. Each student is expected to turn in |
| his/her work by the specified due date. On rare occasions, extension of the due date is granted at the instructor's sole discretion. | |
| Lab: | Friday classes are held in the computer room. Hands-on experience with data are |
| emphasized. We use SPSS, SAS and R for computing and data analysis purpose. Since this is a computing oriented course, syntax based programming is strongly encouraged. Lab notes will be posted each week prior to the class. | |
| Lab Quiz: | Quiz problems are assigned in lab each week. Students are expected to turn in the answers in timely manner. |
| Grade: | Letter grade does not follow a curve. If your grade is at least 90, your letter grade is A; at least 80 and letter grade is B and so on. |
