Learning Outcome
This course trains students in using statistical methods for modeling a response variable as a function of explanatory variables. Stat 535 (a prerequisite) covered linear models, and this course attempts to cover the complement set. At a minimum you will learn the derivation, computation, and application of the different methods on data.
