Anti Requisite(s):	7149 (v.7) Principles of Statistics 101 or any previous version 10925 (v.3) Principles of Statistics 103 or any previous version 307590 (v.1) Data Evaluation and Experimental Design 101 or any previous version
Syllabus:	Designed for students with TEE Applicable Mathematics. Regression Analysis. Simple linear regression - measures of model adequacy, residual analysis, transformations, Inference for slope and intercept. Confidence and prediction intervals for future responses. Multiple linear regression - estimation of model parameters, inference regarding model parameters and predictions, ANOVA, regression diagnostics, variable selection and model building. Non Parametric Methods. Introduction to non parametric analysis. Non parametric tests - Sign test, Signed-rank test, Rank-sum test, Runs test. Kruskal Wallace test, Rank correlation coefficient Checking distributions - Q-Q plots and Kolmogorov Smirnov.
Unit Outcomes:	On completion of this subject students will be able to: analyse relationships between variables using linear regression, including transformations; analyse multiple linear regression models using parameter estimation, ANOVA tables and hypothesis tests; explain and apply regression diagnostics and variable selection methods; explain the differences between parametric and non-parametric methods; apply non-parametric tests Sign test; Signed-rank test; Rank-sum test and Kruskal Wallace test in appropriate situations; apply runs test to test for randomness; explain the concept of rank correlation and test for its significance; explain the concept of empirical distribution function and Kolmogorov Smirnov test; apply Kolmogorov Smirnov test to test for goodness of fit in one and two sample situations.
