Stat 6519 Regression models

Description

Linear statistical inference and its applications are fundamental to all areas of applied statistics. This new course will cover the basic regression models which are frequently used in linear statistical inferences. It will provides a powerful kit of tools to the Master of Applied Statistics students for the success in their future career.

The course  introduces simple and multiple linear regression, Gauss-Markov theorem and followed by
residual analysis, tests of linear hypotheses, model building and regression diagnostics, analysis of variance and covariance and error-in-variable problems.

Credit restriction
