CPSC 540: Applied Statistical Methods II

Course Description	Design and analysis of complex experiments; considers regression analysis, combined, non-replicated, confounded and fractional factorials, lattices, mixed models, multivariate, response surface, and quality control design in terms of their characteristics and usefulness in biological and physical experiments. Analysis of actual experimental data with SAS software will be emphasized
Course Objectives	By the end of the course students will be able to: conduct linear, multiple, and non-linear regression analysis write linear additive models analyze fixed, random and mixed model problems conduct nested hierarchal, complete block, incomplete block, lattice, and fractional factorial designs.
Course Time	This class is only offered during the Spring semester. See the University Course Schedule for times.
