STAT 252 - Introduction to Statistical Modeling

Institution:

Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

What do we mean when we talk about "statistical modeling"? How can statistical models be used to provide evidence for scientific or social theories? In this course, we begin by reviewing hypothesis testing and learn how hypothesis testing is applied in a wide variety of statistical contexts. We then move on to the workhouse of statistical modeling, linear regression, and learn the complex methods used to determine the validity of regression models. We then touch on analysis of variance models, polynomial regression, and time series. R will be used for data analysis, but no prior knowledge of R is assumed.
