Course Outcomes

Randomization

Describe the role of randomization and replication in inferring causation

JMP

Use JMP (or other software) to read in data and compute numerical and graphical summaries of the data

T-Test

Use a t-test (one-sample, paired, and two-sample) to perform inference on means and know what the assumptions for use are

ANOVA

Fit a one-way ANOVA and construct an interpret the ANOVA table in JMP (or other software)

Simple and Multiple Linear Regression

Fit both simple and multiple linear regression and interpret the results

Assess Model Fit

Use residuals and influence diagnostics to assess model fit, agreement with regression assumptions, and identify outliers and influential observations

Scientific Literature

Critically read scientific literature of their field involving parametric linear models with a continuous response
